The Gambia, officially the Republic of The Gambia, is a country in Western Africa. It is the smallest country on the African continental mainland and is bordered to the north, east, and south by Senegal, and the Atlantic Ocean in the west. The River Gambia flows through the centre of the country and empties into the Atlantic Ocean. In 1965, The Gambia became independent from the British Empire. Banjul is its capital.
