British Guinea[1] or Colony of Bolama and Bolama River,[2] was a colony of the United Kingdom in West Africa. Its capital was in the city of Bolama.[3]
The colony was founded in 1792, but was incorporated, after arbitration, into Portuguese Guinea in 1870. It basically comprised the islands adjacent to the island of Bolama, in the Bijagós Archipelago, and the strips of land on the banks of the Buba River.[4]
Its territories are currently components of the independent nation Guinea-Bissau.[5]
