The nation that started as a king’s private domain (the Congo Free State), developed into a colony (the Belgian Congo), gained independence in 1960 (as the Republic of the Congo), and later underwent several name changes (to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, then to Zaire, and back again to the Democratic Republic of the Congo) is the result of an intricate web of historical forces. Some can be linked to precolonial times, while others can be traced back to the time of colonial authority, and yet others can be linked to the political upheavals that occurred after independence.
