Kwame Nkrumah was overthrown in a military coup in 1966 primarily due to widespread dissatisfaction with his authoritarian rule, economic challenges, and political repression. His government faced criticism for increasingly centralizing power and suppressing dissent, which alienated many citizens and political factions. Additionally, economic difficulties, including inflation and declining living standards, fueled public discontent, leading to the coup supported by various military and civilian groups.
