Cape
Verde was uninhabited when the
Portuguese arrived in 1456, and the islands were thus
made part of the Portuguese empire. Due to its location
off the coast of Africa, Cape Verde became an important
port, and was a major center of the slave trade.
In 1975, the islands achieved
independence, partially due to the efforts of the African
Party for the Independence of Guinea-Bissau and Cape
Verde (PAIGC). After independence, the PAIGC attempted
to unite Cape Verde and Guinea-Bissau into one nation,
the PAIGC controlling both governments, but a coup in
the latter nation in 1980 ended these plans. In Cape
Verde itself the PAICV (affiliated with the PAIGC) governed
until elections were held in 1991 that resulted in a
change of government. The PAICV was re-elected in 2001.
