A chronicle of the chaotic impact of decolonization in Ghana, Guinea, and the Congo. Within a week of independence in June 1960, the Congo would split into three factions, backed by the United States, the Soviet Union, and Belgium, with United Nations peacekeeping forces in the middle. For Guinea and Ghana, the outcome was not much better. Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah was eventually overthrown, and Guinea's Sekou Toure would face economic isolation.
