∙ 14y agoLiberia was instituted as a free country (originally an exclave for unwanted 'african-americans') in 1847. In some senses it is the oldest independent country in sub-Saharan Africa.
The Republic of South Africa was arguably never colonised - but that also is a complicated story.

Which revolution created the first nation that had gained independence from a European power?
"gaining independence" usually prescribes a "from" in the end of it, followed by the name of country/hegemon. Historically (in Europe), I suppose first countries/nations got their independence with the collapse of Roman Empire, - more so the ones on the outskirts of Empire. So one may guess England and France, Balkan nations, as well as Middle East countries to be those among first ones to gain independence :)
