Equatorial Guinea becomes independent from Spain

← Terug naar het dashboard
📅 12 Oktober 1968 📍 Equatoriaal-Guinea, Spanje

Spanish Guinea became the independent Republic of Equatorial Guinea. Independence ended Spain’s colonial administration, but authoritarian rule and political violence soon constrained the new state. The transition was also shaped by the distinct histories of Bioko and Río Muni and by the Spanish colonial labor and racial hierarchy that preceded statehood.
