Guinea Coast

The Guinea Coast, also known as West Africa, is a region along the Atlantic Ocean that includes countries like Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast, and Sierra Leone. Historically, it was a major area for trade, especially in gold, ivory, and later, enslaved people. The name “Guinea” comes from ancient terms used by European traders referring to the region’s gold resources. Today, the Guinea Coast is known for its diverse cultures, rich histories, and vibrant economies. It plays a key role in maritime trade and has significant natural resources, including minerals, oil, and agricultural products.
