Namibia's independence is associated with which year?

Correct answer: 1990

Direct answer: Option A, 1990. Namibia became independent on 21 March 1990 after a long period involving German colonial rule, South African control and an independence struggle. The key reasoning is chronological: Namibia was not independent in 1947, 1955 or 1962; its internationally recognized independence came in 1990. Option A is therefore correct. Option B, 1947, is associated with the independence of India, not Namibia. Option C, 1955, is not Namibia’s independence year. Option D, 1962, is associated with several other historical events and does not mark Namibia’s independence. The date also illustrates that African decolonization continued into the late twentieth century, not only the 1950s and 1960s. Memory cue: Namibia—1990; remember its independence as a later African decolonization event.
