Background:
French Togoland became Togo in
1960 after the expiration of the
French-administered UN trusteeship on
April 27 of that year. Despite the facade of multiparty rule instituted in the early 1990s, the government continues to be dominated by the military, which has maintained its power almost continuously since 1967.
