The colony that became Ghana achieved independence primarily **by slowly gaining greater representation in government**.
After World War II, there was increased demand for self-governance in many African colonies, including the Gold Coast (now Ghana). The Gold Coast leaders, notably Kwame Nkrumah, advocated for independence through political activism and negotiations rather than armed conflict. The introduction of constitutional reforms, which allowed for more local representation and political participation, played a crucial role in the gradual progression toward full independence.
Ghana eventually became the first Sub-Saharan African country to gain independence from colonial rule on March 6, 1957, following a series of political movements and reforms that culminated in a successful push for self-governance.
