What is Mali Federation?
[[File:Flag of Mali (1959-1961).svg|thumb|Flag]] The '''Mali Federation''' was a [[country]] in the [[west]] of [[Africa]]. [[Senegal]] and [[Mali]] came together and made this country. ([[Mali]]'s name was [[French Sudan]] at that time). It started on [[April 4]] [[1959]] and it was controlled by [[France]]. However, it became independent on [[June 20]] [[1960]]. The Federation's [[prime minister]] was [[Modibo Keïta]], and the government was in [[Dakar]]. The Federation ended a short time after independence because [[Senegal]] left on [[August 20]] [[1960]] because they had a disagreement about politics.
