Islam first marked its appearance in Senegal in the 11th century, among the Fulani, but for most of the following millennia it would only slowly gain ground, so much so that at the time of the French conquest – in the second half of the 19th century – only around 50% of the population was Muslim. Ironically, it would be the French conquest of the country which would result in the dramatic spread of Islam. During the colonial conquest by France, intense uncertainty and movements of peoples resulted from military action, benefitting Islam as opposed to the traditional Animist religions. Islamic religious schools were instrumental in the spread of Islam.
