How did ghana gain its independence?

  • kwame nkrumah

  • Answer:

    The Republic of Ghana, in West Africa, was "Formed from the merger of the British colony Gold Coast and the British Togoland trust territory." Independence was achieved mainly through the efforts of "Nkrumah, Kwame (kwä'mā nkrOO'mä)." Forming his own political party in 1949, led a series of strikes and boycotts for self-government. In 1950 he was imprisoned for a time by the British for sedition. His "party swept the general election" of 1951 and "he became prime minister in 1952." It was under his leadership and guidance that the Gold Coast achieved its Independence from Great Britain in 1957. The name was changed to Republic of Ghana in 1960.

It gained its independence the same way all the former colonies did: eventually it was frowned upon for countries to colonise others, the UN also has say in this, and main Colonial Powers such as Belgium, France and Britain had to give the colonies back to the natives. It did not work successfully in the long term, hence struggle and poverty in most of the former colonies today. Ghana was a colony of Britain, a combination of The Gold Coast and British Togoland

It was all struggle.My ancestors suffered but at the long round,we gained our "partial" independence on 6th March 1956.Partial because we are still attached to the aprons of some developed countries.
