Guinea was part of various West African empires before becoming a French colony in the late 19th century. It gained independence in 1958 under Sekou Touré, adopting a socialist system. Political instability followed, including military coups. Despite its rich mineral resources, particularly bauxite, Guinea remains one of the world's poorer nations, with ongoing governance challenges.
