What country in Africa was first to gain independence?
African country to gain independence - it depends how you count them. Ethiopia has been an independent country for at least 2000 years. It was invaded by Italy for a short time until the Italians were overthrown on 5th May 1941. It's generally regarded that Ethiopia has never been colonized and as such this makes it the oldest independent country in Africa. Liberia which was formed on 26th June 1847. However, it was a newly formed country so it didn't gain it's independence as such. If you exclude Ethiopia then Liberia is Africa's oldest independent country. Liberia and Ethiopia aside there were 6 countries that gained independence prior to Ghana... South Africa - 31 May 1910 - From the UK Egypt - 28 February 1922 - From the UK Libya - 24 December 1951 - From Italy Sudan - 01 January 1956 - From the UK and Egypt Morocco - 02 March 1956 - From France Tunisia - 20 March 1956 - From France Ghana - 06 March 1957 - From the UK A full list can be found here (an error on this states Libya gained independence from Britain as opposed to Italy) odeyale Solomon gbetorwoods
