On 24 September 1973, Guniea-Bissau declared independence from 
Portugal. This was recognized on September 10, 1974.

João Bernardo "Nino" Vieira ousts president Luís Cabral. Vieira becomes the new president. In 1984, a new 
constitution is adopted. Vieira is elected as president in a single-party system.
The May 31, 1988, the National Ethnographic Museum in 
Bissau, the capital city is opened, aiming to preserve and promote the cultural heritage of Guinea-Bissau.
In 1991, multi-party politics is introduced. This was followed by Guinea-Bissau’s first multi-party elections in 1994. Nino Vieira is elected again as president.
Between 7 June 1998 and 10 May 1999, civil war erupts between government forces and 
military rebels. Vieira is ousted in the end.
2000s
In 2000, 
Kumba Ialá is elected President in the first peaceful transfer of power. But in 2003 Kumba Ialá is overthrown in a bloodless coup led by 
Veríssimo Correia Seabra. And in 2005, Nino Vieira returns from exile and wins the presidential election, again.
In 2008, Guinea-Bissau decided to become a signatory to the 
West Africa Coastal Areas Management Program (WACA) to address coastal erosion and flooding.
On March 2, 2009, Guinea-Bissau’s president Nino Vieira was assassinated by a group of soldiers during an attack on his residence. So, in June, 
Malam Bacai Sanhá is elected President.
2010s
The year 2010 saw the launch of the Guinea-Bissau Social and Economic Development Plan aimed at reducing poverty and improving infrastructure. In 2012, president Sanhá dies in office. A coup interrupts the election process, and interim governments and transitional councils follow. In 2014 
José Mário Vaz is elected president in a peaceful election.

UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, recognizing its ecological and cultural significance. In 2019

In 2022, an attempted coup is occurred on February 1. Gunshots were heard in the capital, and many who heard them took shelter. A few hours later, president Umaro Sissoco Embaló declared the coup over, he said that "many" members of the security forces had been killed in a "failed attack against
