From the 15th century, Portuguese colonists invaded the coastal areas of Togo. It became a German colony in 1884. In September 1920, the west and east of Togo were occupied by Britain and France respectively. After World War II, it was respectively "entrusted" by Britain and France. When Ghana gained independence in 1957, Western Togo, which was under British Trusteeship, was incorporated into Ghana. Togo in the east became an "autonomous republic" within the French Community in August 1956 and officially declared independence on April 27, 1960, being named the Republic of Togo. Olympio became the first president. In 1963, Austria was assassinated and Grunutsky became the president. In 1967, Eyadema became president.

After Eyadma's death, his son, Frey, took over power. On February 7, 2005, Frey was sworn in as president. The international community strongly opposed it. The Economic Community of West African States and the African Union successively announced sanctions against multiple countries, and the European Union, the United States and France condemned them. Under pressure, Fu resigned as president on February 25th. In April, the presidential election was held in Toronto and Faure was elected as the winner.
