How did Africa become an independent country after the British Empire?

There is an incorrect implication in the question, namely that Africa is a single country as opposed to a continent with numerous countries. Africa's British colonies became independent in waves. Some like South Africa, were independent as early as 1915, but most became independent in the 1960s. This happened as Africans in each of the former colonies petitioned for independence and the British colonizers signed agreements and treaties with them legitimating their freedom.
