After achieving its independence from France in 1960 the Ivory Coast, or Côte d'Ivoire, became a model of political stability and economic prosperity, avoiding many of the pitfalls that plagued other African nations experiencing the difficulties of sovereignty.
During his presidency from 1960 to 1993 Houphouet-Boigny cultivated close political ties with West which insulated the Ivory Coast from the turmoil associated with the military uprisings and Marxist experimentations that characterized the region.
By maintaining an environment of stability, the Ivory Coast was able to develop its economy, attracting foreign investment and becoming the world’s largest producer of cocoa.
