in the 15th and 16th centuries, starting in the 1440's.

To add more information here, it seems most historians cite 1446 as the year Portugal first made a settlement in what is now called Guinea-Bissau. There were conflicts between France and Portugal over this section of Africa and it can be safely said that by the middle of the 19th century, Portugal had consolidated its overall control of this territory. Perhaps not 100% but certainly the vast majority of it.
