The collapse of the Mali Federation is one of the largest geopolitical breakdowns in West African history. Complete dissolution occurred on August 20, 1960, when Senegal and the Sudanese Republic became separate states.

Secession from the Federation of Mali by the Republic of Upper Volta
The Republic of Upper Volta withdrew from the Federation of Mali, due to the sphere of influence of Côte d'Ivoire. Côte d'Ivoire planned to capture several villages, such as Batye and others, where, due to spheres of influence, on August 1, the Republic of Upper Volta became independent from the Federation of Mali.

Withdrawal from the Federation of Mali Republic of Dahomey
The Republic of Dahomey left the Federation of Mali because when the Republic of Upper Volta left the federation, the Federation of Mali was divided into 2 parts (northern and southern) and the southern part (Republic of Dahomey) became an exclave. And 3 days later, when the Republic of Upper Volta left the federation, the Republic of Dahomey became independent.

Withdrawal from the Federation of Mali by the Sudanese Republic and Senegal
After the Republic of Upper Volta and the Republic of Dahomey became independent, the Sudanese Republic and Senegal remained in the federation for 16 days until Senegal became independent due to political differences. And 2 hours later the Sudanese Republic became independent.
