The Gold Coast | Kwame Nkrumah | (1985)

Independence in the Gold Coast, led by Kwame Nkrumah, emerged rapidly post-World War II. A violent protest in 1948 catalyzed political change, prompting British officials to reconsider governance. Nkrumah's Convention People's Party advocated for immediate self-governance, ultimately leading to Ghana's independence on March 6, 1957, marking a significant moment in African history.
