The Islamic Republic of Mauritania, also referred to as Mauritania, is one of the largest nations in Africa. The country covers an area of roughly 400,000 square miles and is the 28th largest nation globally. Evidence indicates that Mauritania has been home to human communities for a long time with one of the first groups that settled there being the Balfour. In ancient times, Mauritania was bordered by the region referred to as Libya. In the present day, Mauritania shares its borders with four nations: Algeria, Mali, Western Sahara, and Senegal. The land boundaries of the nation cover a distance of roughly 3,153 miles. Several events have affected the shape of Mauritania’s borders with one of the most significant being colonization by the French.
