Before gaining independence in 1960, Niger was a part of French West Africa, which was a colonial federation of several West African countries under French control. The French established their presence in the region in the late 19th century, and Niger became a formal colony in 1922. After a period of colonial rule, Niger achieved independence from France on August 3, 1960.
