The Jolof Empire (Arabic: امبراطورية جولوف), also known as Great Jolof,[3] or the Wolof Empire, was a Wolof state that ruled parts of West Africa situated in modern-day Senegal and Gambia from around the 12th century[4][5][6] to 1549. However, most scholars now believe that this was a 14th century event,[1][2] and a voluntary confederation of states,[7] and placed the reign of the first emperor around 1360.[1][2] Following the 1549 battle of Danki, its vassal states were fully or de facto independent; in this period it is known as the Jolof Kingdom.
