The Country Of Ghana

Ghana is a South African nation that is now a republic. For many years the country of Ghana was a British colony, as were many other countries in Africa. Ghana received independence from the United Kingdom in the 1950s. Before it was a British colony Ghana had a formidable empire in the African peninsula. The Empire of Ghana was famous all over the world for both the huge land mass of the empire and the brutality of the governing monarch. The Empire of Ghana was subdued by the British and became a United Kingdom colony, which was how the United Kingdom was able to set up a huge British presence in Africa and become a huge influence on African society. Ghana is one of the richest countries in Africa. Ghana, unlike many of the countries in Africa, has abundant natural resources and very rich soil making it a great farming country as well as a country with a lot of other resources that have been developed and sold through the years. Thanks to the large amounts of natural resources Ghana doesn’t have the same rampant poverty that is common in other African countries.
