THE TRUE INDEPENDENCE OF TOGO

"The Rise of Togo: From Colonial Rule to Independence"

Tucked away in West Africa, the Republic of Togo has a story of independence that is as unique and inspiring as the nation itself. After over six decades of German and French colonial rule, the people of Togo rose up in the 1960s, demanding the right to self-governance and a future free from foreign interference.

s independence from France, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the country's history.

The road to independence for Togo was a long and difficult one.

After World War I, Togo was divided between British and French spheres of influence, with the French taking control of the majority of the country. For decades, Togo was ruled by the French as a colony, with little regard for the rights and needs of its people.

In the 1950s, however, a wave of anti-colonial sentiment began to sweep through Togo, fueled by a growing sense of nationalism and a desire for political and economic self-determination.

In response to growing pressure from Togolese nationalists, the French government agreed to a referendum on independence in 1959. The referendum resulted in a resounding yes vote, paving the way for Togo to become an independent nation on April 27, 1960.

Despite the challenges and hardships that it faced during its early years of independence, Togo has since become a thriving nation, with a rich cultural heritage and a diverse population that continues to shape its identity and future. Today, Togo stands as a testament to the power of self-determination and the enduring resilience of its people.

A brief history about philosophy and science

HISTORY ABOUT PHILOSOPHY AND SCIENCE Philosophy began in Ancient Egypt & science began in Ancient Sumerian Philosophy, science, and logic were not born in ancient Greece, as they existed in ancient Egypt centuries ago. Greek philosophers learned this information by going to Egypt and Mesopotamia. First of all, the Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Sumerian and Indian cultures are more ancient and older than the Ancient Greek culture. Science and wisdom in Mesopotamia and especially Egypt were held in high esteem by the Greeks. Although it was an expensive journey, going to Egypt and getting an education was as valuable as going to American universities and getting a doctorate today.

THE FIRST AND OLDEST MUSICAL INSTRUMENT

FLUTE IS THE FIRST AND OLDEST MUSICAL INSTRUMENT At least that appears likely. Found in Slovenia, in a cave that was inhabited by Neanderthals, the 4.5-inch cave bear femur has four spaced, similarly-sized holes in a line in a recognizable musical scale. Even though the odds of that happening by chance are slim, much of the scientific community has rejected the idea that Neanderthals had the cognitive ability and creativity to make music, much less a flute to produce it. The main competing hypothesis is that carnivores made the holes while chewing the bone. In all fairness, both ends of the article do appear to have suffered gnawing. But experiments have shown that it would be nearly impossible for carnivores to produce the holes on the thickest and most rigid part of the bone without breaking it. And no match could be found for any animal to make two of the holes at a time. A reconstructed model of the flute has been used to produce good qua...
