The Union of African States, was a short lasting union of 3 African states in West Africa, in the 1960's. These states were Mali, Ghana, and Guinea. They united together to form the Union of African States. This union was Marxist politically, and was lead by such African revolutionaries as Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana and Sékou Touré of Guinea, who was president of Guinea. The Union fell apart in 1962, when Guinea started to reach out to the United States, against the acquaintance of their Socialist partner, the U.S.S.R..
