Best Answer

The Republic of Ghana, in West Africa, was "Formed from the merger of the British colony Gold Coast and the British Togoland trust territory." Independence was achieved mainly through the efforts of "Nkrumah, Kwame (kw盲'm膩 nkrOO'm盲)." Forming his own political party in 1949, led a series of strikes and boycotts for self-government. In 1950 he was imprisoned for a time by the British for sedition. His "party swept the general election" of 1951 and "he became prime minister in 1952." It was under his leadership and guidance that the Gold Coast achieved its Independence from Great Britain in 1957. The name was changed to Republic of Ghana in 1960. So in 1957.

I believe Britain wasn't able to maintain their empire there and also through the help and guidance of Ghana's first president, Kwame Nkurmah, Ghana gained independence by March of 1957.
