Cape Verde

Cape Verde

Cape Verde holds 689 connections with 8156 other places across 28 topics, with its strongest ties running to Portugal, the United States, and France. Sports, nature, government, and history account for most of its connections. Historical ties reach back to the Age of Exploration: Diogo Gomes, who sailed with António de Noli, claimed to have been the first to land on the island of Santiago. Military connections run through the Guinea-Bissau War of Independence, during which PAIGC forces chose not to disrupt Portuguese control on the islands.
