description Ghana Overview
Ghana is a West African country on the Gulf of Guinea with its capital at Accra. Formerly the British Gold Coast, it became in 1957 the first sub-Saharan African country to gain independence from European colonial rule, under Kwame Nkrumah. Kumasi is the center of the Ashanti region and its cultural heritage, while coastal forts such as Cape Coast Castle document the Atlantic slave trade. Gold and cocoa are major exports, and Lake Volta is among the world's largest reservoirs by surface area.
