Ghana - Independence Day
The Republic of Ghana celebrates its Independence Day on March 6. On this day in 1957, Ghana proclaimed its independence from the United Kingdom.
The first Europeans to set foot on the territory of modern-day Ghana were the Portuguese who came to Western Africa in the 15th century. They established the Portuguese Gold Coast. Eventually, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, and German merchants joined them and established their own colonies. All of them wanted to seize power over the region because of the petroleum, natural gas, and gold deposits.
