If you are referring to the period of colonization and colonialism, certainly one of the first was the United States of America, which declared its independence from England in 1776; the Americans fought and won the Revolutionary War (1775-1781). Another early country to declare independence was Haiti, which gained its freedom from France in 1804.

That depends on your definition of freedom and exactly what you mean by country.

No doubt most of the older countries of the world would claim to be the first to have freedom but are you talking about the freedom of a country as a state or the freedoms enjoyed by the population of a country?

Greece was the first democracy we know about but had slavery which is a reminder to us all that democracy alone is no guarantee of freedom.
