Empire of Great Fulo

Former Pulaar kingdom of Senegal

The Empire of Great Fulo (Fula: Deeniyankobe; French: Grand Fulo), also known as the Denanke Kingdom or Denianke Kingdom, was a Pulaar kingdom of Senegal, which dominated the Futa Toro region from the early 16th century to 1776. Tenguella, a Fula chief in Futa Toro, led an emigration in the 1450s to establish the Futa Kingi state. His actions disrupted trade, which threatened Mali's communication lines, and led to conflict with Songhai.
