Africa is a continent, not a country. I believe it has been defined as such since the time of the Ancient Greeks.
Several countries in Africa have become independent, at various times. You need to specify which country
The Philippines became independent in 1947
Uganda became independent from Britain in 1962. In that same year Rwanda and Burundi became independent of Belgium.
Texas became an independent republic in 1836 and continued to be until 1846. It became a state in the United States that year.
Haiti became a CARICOM country in 2002, on July 2.
Portugal by a mile. Portugal as a country was founded in the year of 868 but only got recognition in 1143. This means Portugal is an independent Kingdom/Country since the 11th/12th century. Italy only became an unified country in 1861 (19th century). This means that Portugal became a country 6/7 centuries before Italy.
