Anglo-French Convention on Guinea–Sierra Leone boundaries

Background. French Guinea was a French colonial possession in West Africa. Its borders changed over time, eventually matching the current independent nation of Guinea. Prior to 1882, the coastal portions of French Guinea were part of the French colony of Senegal. The 1882 convention marked a shift in these territorial arrangements.

Colonial Context. Sierra Leone's territorial configuration was established in phases, with the coastal colony founded in 1808. The inland Protectorate was created later in 1896 following the Berlin Conference. The 1882 convention occurred before these later developments, setting boundaries that influenced the subsequent colonial structure of the region.

Signing Details. The 1882 Anglo-French Convention is the legacy event description for the boundary arrangement between Guinea and Sierra Leone. The supplied passages do not state that the convention was signed, nor do they record a signing date or place; the 28 June Paris date in the legacy metadata is unverified. What the passages do confirm is the 1882 boundary context: coastal French Guinea was administered as part of Senegal before 1882, and French Guinea was formalized in 1891 within the borders of Rivières du Sud (1882–1891).
