The majority ethnic group was Mandinka, with a few Fula. French colonial ethnography linked the name "Bambara" and the peoples of the Segou kingdom, who included Bamana, because of their opposition to the Fula Islamic state of Massina (1818-62) and to the holy war waged by al Hajj Umar Tal between 1852 and 1862.
