"gaining independence" usually prescribes a "from" in the end of it, followed by the name of country/hegemon. Historically (in Europe), I suppose first countries/nations got their independence with the collapse of Roman Empire, - more so the ones on the outskirts of Empire. So one may guess England and France, Balkan nations, as well as Middle East countries to be those among first ones to gain independence :)

The Second Continental Congress issued the Declaration of Independence because they wanted colonists to be on the side of America. They also wanted encourage foreign nations to help them gain their independence from Britain.
The first West Indian territory to gain independence was Jamaica, which achieved independence from the United Kingdom on August 6, 1962. This marked a significant milestone in the decolonization of the Caribbean region, inspiring other territories to seek self-governance. Following Jamaica, several other Caribbean nations also gained independence in the subsequent years.
The first colony to gain independence after World War II was Libya, which achieved independence from Italy on December 24, 1951. This marked a significant moment in the decolonization movement, as Libya became the first African country to gain independence post-war. Other colonies followed suit in the subsequent decades, as many nations sought self-determination and freedom from colonial rule.
