Cape Verde

Cabo Verde is an island country located off the west coast of Africa. Colonized by the Portuguese in the 15th century, it served as a crucial stop for the transatlantic slave trade. The islands gained independence in 1975, with a stable democratic government established since then. Cabo Verde has a rich cultural heritage influenced by its African, European, and Creole roots. The country has a diverse geography, with volcanic landscapes, beautiful beaches, and a vibrant music scene. Despite its limited natural resources, Cabo Verde has developed a growing tourism industry and has made strides in economic development and poverty reduction. It continues to face challenges such as droughts and emigration, but remains a resilient and unique nation in Africa.
