== Foreign relations ==

Before 1974, Liberia maintained foreign relations as an independent republic. Its coastal position and resource economy made it important to foreign commercial interests and regional diplomacy.

During the Großliberia period, foreign policy was controlled by the [[Tanoa Einsatzgruppen]]. Liberia did not conduct independent diplomacy. Relations with other African territories under Tanoan influence were coordinated through [[SS-Großabschnitt Afrika]] and the central government in [[Tanoa]].

After the collapse of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen, Liberia began reestablishing external relations under transitional authority. The main issues were recognition of the post-Tanoan government, investigation of collaboration, the legal status of Sierra Leone, and the restoration of independent control over ports and resources.
