Travel to Sao Tome and
Principe.
The island republic of Sao Tome and Principe lies
about 200 km west of Gabon, in the Gulf of
Guinea.
Sao Tome is the largest and southernmost of the
major islands. The capital is also called Sao Tome, and is on the
north-east coast of the island of Sao Tome.
The first Portuguese navigators to discover the
islands, while searching for a route to India in the early 1470s,
probably found no inhabitants.
The Portuguese shipped convicts and Jews here, and
imported African slaves to work their sugar fields.
After cacao was introduced in 1822, Sao Tome and
Principe went on to become a leading world producer.
Sao Tome and Principe gained independence on July
12th, 1975, after the coup in Portugal, and many plantation owners fled
the islands.

members: Angola,
