Gambia is surrounded by Senegal due to historical colonial boundaries established during the late 19th century. The British colonized Gambia, while the French controlled Senegal. The resulting borders were drawn in a way that left Gambia as a narrow enclave along the Gambia River, creating a unique geographical situation where it is almost entirely surrounded by Senegal, except for its coastline along the Atlantic Ocean. This arrangement reflects the complex interplay of colonial interests and territorial claims in West Africa.
