Originally a part of several ancient and historic African
empires, Niger was reached by Europeans in the late 18th Century
and between 1900 and 1922 Niger became a French colony. On
August 3, 1960 Niger became independent and in the next year
signed a bilateral agreement with France retaining economic and
cultural ties. Hamani Diori was Niger's first President and was
ousted in a 1974 coup. Severe drought and famine struck in 1973
and 1974 and again in 1975.
