The Declaration

October 2,1958

On this day in history, the French colony of Guinea declared its independence on October 2, 1958, with Sekou Toure as the new nation’s first leader. This eventually started to raise “Cold War” tensions for the United States and the Soviet Union. Toure knew that very well and played both nations against each other to get the aid and trade he desired.
