Cape Verde was colonized by the Portuguese in the 15th century, specifically beginning in 1460. The islands were uninhabited before Portuguese exploration and became an important stopover for the transatlantic slave trade. The Portuguese established settlements and developed the islands for agriculture and trade, which significantly influenced the local culture and economy. Cape Verde remained a Portuguese colony until it gained independence in 1975.
