How and when did the chad nation gain its independence?

Chad gained its independence from France on August 11, 1960. The path to independence involved a series of political negotiations and the rise of nationalist movements in the post-World War II era. France gradually granted autonomy to its colonies, and after a referendum in 1958, Chad was declared a republic within the French Community before achieving full independence two years later. The newfound independence was marked by the challenges of establishing a stable government in the face of ethnic divisions and external pressures.
