Poland was ruled by the Polish United Workers’ Party. The people could not freely choose the leaders of the communist party or the government. Those who spoke against the leaders or the party or the government were put in prison. The government in Poland was supported and controlled by the government of the Soviet Union (USSR).

Kwame Nkrumah, son of a goldsmith and himself a teacher, was active in the independence struggle of his country. After independence, Nkrumah became the first prime minister and then the president of Ghana. He was a friend of Jawaharlal Nehru and an inspiration for Democrats in Africa. He got himself elected president for life. Soon after, in 1966, he was overthrown by the military.
