The '''First Republic of Ghana''', officially known at the time of its existence as the '''Republic of Ghana''', was a [[socialist state]] in [[West Africa]] from 1960 to 1966 established via popular referendum after the masses voted to end the [[Dominion of Ghana]] by transforming Ghana into a Presidential Republic. In the aftermath of the referendum, former Prime Minister [[Kwame Nkrumah]] would become the first President of Ghana. The Republic of Ghana was the first African nation south of the Sahara to obtain independence, and due to the successes of Nkrumah's socialist policies while in power, Ghana became a model-state for African independence movements and a hub for Pan-African philosophy. | The '''First Republic of Ghana''', officially known at the time of its existence as the '''Republic of Ghana''', was a [[socialist state]] in [[West Africa]] from 1960 to 1966 established via popular referendum after the masses voted to end the [[Dominion of Ghana]] by transforming Ghana into a Presidential Republic.
