Britain began establishing trading posts on the West African coast in the 18th century. By the early 20th century The Gambia, Sierra Leone, the Gold Coast, British Togoland, Nigeria, and the British Cameroons had all been established as British colonies. The Gold Coast and British Togoland, which had been administered together, became the independent country of Ghana in 1957. Nigeria became independent in 1960. In 1961 the northern part of the British Cameroons became part of Nigeria, and the southern part joined the newly independent country of Cameroon, which formerly had been administered by France as the French Cameroons. Sierra Leone became an independent country in 1961, The Gambia in 1965. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
