01 December - Ubangi-Shari gained autonomy in 1958

 


The French colony of Ubangi-Shari gained autonomy on December 1, 1958. This development was part of a broader series of events tied to the French Union and the process of decolonization.

On this date, the people of Ubangi-Shari (present-day Central African Republic) voted in favor of the new constitution proposed by France, which granted the territory internal autonomy within the French community. This move was a step towards self-governance, allowing Ubangi-Shari to have control over its internal affairs while still being associated with France. It marked a significant moment in the decolonization process in Africa during the mid-20th century.
