After gaining independence from Portugal, the first President of Guinea-Bissau was Luís Cabral, who was also a prominent figure in the PAIGC and the brother of Amílcar Cabral.

The methods used to gain independence in Guinea-Bissau included armed resistance, negotiations, external pressure, and the willingness of the colonial powers to leave. The PAIGC, under the leadership of Amílcar Cabral, launched a protracted armed struggle against Portuguese colonial rule. This guerrilla warfare campaign, combined with diplomatic efforts to gain international support and pressure on Portugal to decolonize, ultimately led to Guinea-Bissau achieving independence in 1973. The armed struggle played a significant role in weakening the Portuguese colonial presence and creating favorable conditions for independence negotiations.
