Question

what factors contributed to the military coup in ghana?
corruption and economic problems
growth in the oil industry and election fraud
ethnic tensions and laws restricting political freedom
the pan - african movement and the mau mau uprising

Explanation:

To determine the factors contributing to the military coup in Ghana, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Corruption and economic problems were significant issues in Ghana that led to dissatisfaction and ultimately contributed to the military coup. Ghana faced economic stagnation and widespread corruption in the government, which eroded public trust.
• Option 2: Growth in the oil industry would likely be a positive factor, not a cause for a coup, and election fraud was not a primary factor in Ghana's coup context.
• Option 3: Ethnic tensions were not the main driver, and laws restricting political freedom were not the core issues leading to the coup compared to economic and corruption problems.
• Option 4: The Pan - African movement was a broader ideological movement, and the Mau Mau uprising was in Kenya, not related to Ghana's coup.

Answer:

A. corruption and economic problems
