If you truly want to know, then the answer is Liberia. It became independent from the US in 1847. This makes Liberia the oldest independent African colony/country. Once being a part of the US, the people of Liberia decided to start a government just like the US. Interesting, right?

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.
Haiti did (1804).
East Timor is the last colony in Asia to gain independence.
Liberia was the first to gain independence after being colonized by outsiders, but the independence of Ethiopia dates to antiquity and was never fully ended.

Egypt (1922) was the first African nation to become independent from a European nation, but it was not a colony (it was a protectorate). The first colony to become independent was Italian Libya in 1951.
The first British colony in West Africa was Sierra Leone, established in 1787. It became the first sub-Saharan African colony to gain independence after World War II, achieving this status on April 27, 1961. Sierra Leone's independence was significant as it marked a turning point in the decolonization process across Africa.
