Nationalism played a pivotal role in Ghana's independence by fostering a collective identity among its people and igniting a desire for self-determination. Leaders like Kwame Nkrumah mobilized the population through political movements and grassroots campaigns, highlighting the injustices of colonial rule. The growth of nationalist sentiments culminated in mass protests and demands for political rights, ultimately pressuring the British colonial government to grant independence in 1957. This movement not only united diverse ethnic groups in Ghana but also inspired other nations in Africa to pursue their own independence.
