After concluding talks with the French Government, Spain also turned its attention to the consolidation of the Guinea Colony.
At this time, the Gold Coast had already been incorporated into the Guinea Colony, and what the Spanish Government needed to do was link these two non-adjacent colonies to establish a massive colony spanning over a million square kilometers.
The good news is that Spain had already cleared most of the indigenous peoples from this region, with only the most powerful Sokoto Caliphate yet to be conquered by Spanish military force.
The Sokoto Caliphate was indeed powerful. Compared to other indigenous states in the Guinea Bay with populations of just over one million or even under one million, the Sokoto Caliphate had over ten million people at its peak and currently had nearly ten million people across the country, along with two to three million slaves.
