Republic of the Congo
Coordinates: 1°26′24″S 15°33′22″E / 1.44°S 15.556°E / -1.44; 15.556
The Republic of the Congo (French: République du Congo), also known as Congo, Congo Republic,West Congo, or Congo-Brazzaville, is a country located in Central Africa. It is bordered by five countries: Gabon to the west; Cameroon to the northwest; the Central African Republic to the northeast; the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the east and south; and the Angolan exclave of Cabinda to the southwest.
The region was dominated by Bantu-speaking tribes, who built trade links leading into the Congo River basin. Congo-Brazzaville was formerly part of the French colony of Equatorial Africa. Upon independence in 1960, the former colony of French Congo became the Republic of the Congo. The People's Republic of the Congo was a Marxist–Leninist one-party state from 1970 to 1991. Multi-party elections have been held since 1992, although a democratically elected government was ousted in the 1997 Republic of the Congo Civil War and President Denis Sassou Nguesso has ruled for 26 of the past 36 years.

Republic of the Congo (Léopoldville)
The Republic of the Congo (French: République du Congo) or Congo-Léopoldville was a state founded after independence was granted to the former Belgian Congo in 1960. The country's post-independence name remained until 1 August 1964, when it was changed to Democratic Republic of the Congo to distinguish it from the neighboring Republic of the Congo (Congo-Brazzaville), formerly the French Congo. The period between 1960 and 1965 is referred to as the First Congolese Republic while the current Democratic Republic of the Congo is the Third Republic.
Unrest and rebellion plagued the government until 1965, when Lieutenant General Joseph-Désiré Mobutu, by then commander-in-chief of the national army, seized control of the country. In 1971, Mobutu changed the country's name to Zaire, and remained its president until 1997.
Colonial rule
The conditions in the Congo improved following the Belgian government's takeover from the Congo Free State in 1908. Select Bantu languages were taught in primary schools, a rare occurrence in colonial education. Colonial doctors greatly reduced the spread of African trypanosomiasis, commonly known as sleeping sickness.

The Story Behind: The Democratic Republic of Congo And The Republic of Congo?

How will I get around the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)?? 🇨🇩 [S7-E82]
In this video, I am trying to find a way to get around the DRC - via the Angolan enclave called Cabinda. But, due to a broken crane, I can't take the normal ferry and have to take the cargo boat. However that boat doesn't run on a schedule and only goes if enough cargo is booked for it. Because of that, it often doesn't run for two weeks. I am very anxious to get out of Cabinda and do not want to risk getting stuck there for two weeks... Want to learn how to use drones, GoPros and 360 cameras to film your solo motorcycle adventure?

Why Are There Two Congos?
A short video explaining why there are two countries with very similar names. The Democratic Republic of the Congo and its neighbour, the Republic of the Congo. I also talk about some similar naming issues, as well as briefly looking at many African nations that share the same colour scheme. In this video, I briefly touch on the European colonisation of Africa. This is a topic which I plan on doing an entire video on some day in the not too distant future.

Have you ever wondered why there are two Congos: The Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Congo?

The two countries are neigbours in central Africa.The Democratic Republic of Congo, the second largest country in Africa, covers an area of about 2.3 million square kilometres and has a population of about 110 million.
The Republic of Congo covers about 342,000 square kilometres with a population of 5.7 million.
The Democratic Republic of Congo or DRC, has Kinshasa as its capital while the Republic of Congo has Brazzaville as its capital.
So, to avoid ambiguity, the two countries are often differentiated with the names of their capital cities - Congo Kinshasa and Congo Brazzaville.Both countries not only share a similar name, but they both speak French as their official language because of their colonial history.
Congo Brazzaville was colonised by France. Although Congo Kinshasa on the other hand was colonised by Belgium, the Belgians were also speaking French as the official language.
The European nations brutally exploited the resources of the two Congos.The two countries surround the Congo River and are endowed with huge natural resources including gold, cobalt and copper.
It’s important to mention that the modern-day borders in Africa were drawn during the partitioning of the continent when European countries allocated themselves territories at the 1884-1885 Berlin Conference.
King Leopold II of Belgium persuaded the conference to allow him to control the Congo area, due to his so-called ‘humanitarian efforts’ there.
He then christened it the Congo Free State. However, numerous atrocities were committed during his rule including torture and starvation.
Congolese people were compelled to work for resources such as rubber and ivory so that Leopold could enrich himself.
Estimates vary, but over 10 million people – that’s half of the Congolese population – died due to the atrocities.
The Belgian government took over in 1908, and it became known as Belgian Congo.
Congo gained independence on June 30, 1960, and adopted the name ‘’The Democratic Republic of the Congo.’’
However, in 1971, its leader Mobutu Sese Seko changed the country’s name to the Republic of Zaire – a word derived from the local Kikongo language – meaning the ‘River that swallows other rivers’.
When he died in 1997, the name was changed back to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
For the other Congo, that’s the Republic of the Congo, it was colonised by France from the 1880s and the colonisers named Brazzaville as its capital.
The French, who were focused on recruiting labour and extracting raw materials, compelled Africans to construct infrastructure to help the colonial economy.
It's estimated that between 15,000 and 20,000 Africans died during the construction of the Congo-Ocean Railway between 1921 and 1934.
Congo Brazzaville gained independence on August 15, 1960 and adopted the name "The Republic of Congo," which it has retained to this day.

Both are separated by that magnificent Congo River, the second longest river in Africa, second biggest in the world by discharge volume, and deepest river in the world. The capitals of both countries, the aforementioned Kinshasa and Brazzaville, both sit across from each other along that river, as matter of fact, less than 1 mile, or 1.6 km apart. They are the closest capital cities between two sovereign countries in the world. Well, second closest if you count Vatican City and Rome.
Also, Kinshasa is by far the largest city in the DRC, with more than 12 million people, which is around 13% of the country’s population, and Brazzaville is by far the largest city in the Congo Republic, with more than 1.8 million people, which is around 1/3 of the country’s population.
Despite being so close to one another, there are no bridges connecting Kinshasa and Brazzaville. Instead, the most common way to get back and forth between the two cities is by boat, crossing the Congo River, and thousands cross it every day. That said, you can also travel by plane- apparently 5-minute flights go back and forth between the two. However, a road/rail bridge that links the two cities is currently in the works, and construction should be resuming soon after this video releases. The metropolitan area of both Kinshasa and Brazzaville, by the way, makes up the third largest urban area in all of Africa.
Due to the legacy of foreign influence, residents of both speak French. While French is the official language, residents speak many different languages in both, depending on what region you’re in. An estimated 242 languages are spoken in the DRC, but its four national languages are Kikongo, Lingala, Swahili, and Tshiluba. The Congo Republic has two national languages- Kituba and also Lingala.

A short video explaining why there are two countries with very similar names. The Democratic Republic of the Congo and its neighbour, the Republic of the Congo. I also talk about some similar naming issues, as well as briefly looking at many African nations that share the same colour scheme.
In this video, I briefly touch on the European colonisation of Africa. This is a topic which I plan on doing an entire video on some day in the not too distant future.

Have you ever wondered why there are two Congos: The Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Congo?
One has Felix Tshisekedi as its president, while the other has Denis Sassou Nguesso as its president.
The two countries are neigbours in central Africa.The Democratic Republic of Congo, the second largest country in Africa, covers an area of about 2.3 million square kilometres and has a population of about 110 million.
The Republic of Congo covers about 342,000 square kilometres with a population of 5.7 million.
The Democratic Republic of Congo or DRC, has Kinshasa as its capital while the Republic of Congo has Brazzaville as its capital.
So, to avoid ambiguity, the two countries are often differentiated with the names of their capital cities - Congo Kinshasa and Congo Brazzaville.Both countries not only share a similar name, but they both speak French as their official language because of their colonial history.
Congo Brazzaville was colonised by France. Although Congo Kinshasa on the other hand was colonised by Belgium, the Belgians were also speaking French as the official language.
The European nations brutally exploited the resources of the two Congos.The two countries surround the Congo River and are endowed with huge natural resources including gold, cobalt and copper.
It’s important to mention that the modern-day borders in Africa were drawn during the partitioning of the continent when European countries allocated themselves territories at the 1884-1885 Berlin Conference.
King Leopold II of Belgium persuaded the conference to allow him to control the Congo area, due to his so-called ‘humanitarian efforts’ there.
He then christened it the Congo Free State. However, numerous atrocities were committed during his rule including torture and starvation.
Congolese people were compelled to work for resources such as rubber and ivory so that Leopold could enrich himself.
Estimates vary, but over 10 million people – that’s half of the Congolese population – died due to the atrocities.
The Belgian government took over in 1908, and it became known as Belgian Congo.
Congo gained independence on June 30, 1960, and adopted the name ‘’The Democratic Republic of the Congo.’’
However, in 1971, its leader Mobutu Sese Seko changed the country’s name to the Republic of Zaire – a word derived from the local Kikongo language – meaning the ‘River that swallows other rivers’.
When he died in 1997, the name was changed back to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
For the other Congo, that’s the Republic of the Congo, it was colonised by France from the 1880s and the colonisers named Brazzaville as its capital.
The French, who were focused on recruiting labour and extracting raw materials, compelled Africans to construct infrastructure to help the colonial economy.
It's estimated that between 15,000 and 20,000 Africans died during the construction of the Congo-Ocean Railway between 1921 and 1934.
Congo Brazzaville gained independence on August 15, 1960 and adopted the name "The Republic of Congo," which it has retained to this day.

Africa is home to two Congo countries: the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo/ But despite sharing a name, river, and rainforest, these two countries are actually quite different. Mostly it that the Democratic Republic of the Congo has about 20 times more people. So why is there such a large population difference between to neighboring countries that share mostly the same land?

In this video, I am trying to find a way to get around the DRC - via the Angolan enclave called Cabinda. But, due to a broken crane, I can't take the normal ferry and have to take the cargo boat. However that boat doesn't run on a schedule and only goes if enough cargo is booked for it. Because of that, it often doesn't run for two weeks. I am very anxious to get out of Cabinda and do not want to risk getting stuck there for two weeks...

The Congo has had one of the worst histories on Earth. From its precolonial to postcolonial times, the people of the Congo have been exploited by their rulers to make one of the worst societies on Earth. Let's take a quick look at the miserable history/economy/life of The Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Mainly inspired by Why Nations Fail by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson

Both are separated by that magnificent Congo River, the second longest river in Africa, second biggest in the world by discharge volume, and deepest river in the world. The capitals of both countries, the aforementioned Kinshasa and Brazzaville, both sit across from each other along that river, as matter of fact, less than 1 mile, or 1.6 km apart. They are the closest capital cities between two sovereign countries in the world. Well, second closest if you count Vatican City and Rome.
Also, Kinshasa is by far the largest city in the DRC, with more than 12 million people, which is around 13% of the country’s population, and Brazzaville is by far the largest city in the Congo Republic, with more than 1.8 million people, which is around 1/3 of the country’s population.
Despite being so close to one another, there are no bridges connecting Kinshasa and Brazzaville. Instead, the most common way to get back and forth between the two cities is by boat, crossing the Congo River, and thousands cross it every day. That said, you can also travel by plane- apparently 5-minute flights go back and forth between the two. However, a road/rail bridge that links the two cities is currently in the works, and construction should be resuming soon after this video releases. The metropolitan area of both Kinshasa and Brazzaville, by the way, makes up the third largest urban area in all of Africa.
Due to the legacy of foreign influence, residents of both speak French. While French is the official language, residents speak many different languages in both, depending on what region you’re in. An estimated 242 languages are spoken in the DRC, but its four national languages are Kikongo, Lingala, Swahili, and Tshiluba. The Congo Republic has two national languages- Kituba and also Lingala.

A short video explaining why there are two countries with very similar names. The Democratic Republic of the Congo and its neighbour, the Republic of the Congo. I also talk about some similar naming issues, as well as briefly looking at many African nations that share the same colour scheme.
In this video, I briefly touch on the European colonisation of Africa. This is a topic which I plan on doing an entire video on some day in the not too distant future.

Republic of the Congo
Coordinates: 1°26′24″S 15°33′22″E / 1.44°S 15.556°E / -1.44; 15.556
The Republic of the Congo (French: République du Congo), also known as Congo, Congo Republic,West Congo, or Congo-Brazzaville, is a country located in Central Africa. It is bordered by five countries: Gabon to the west; Cameroon to the northwest; the Central African Republic to the northeast; the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the east and south; and the Angolan exclave of Cabinda to the southwest.
The region was dominated by Bantu-speaking tribes, who built trade links leading into the Congo River basin. Congo-Brazzaville was formerly part of the French colony of Equatorial Africa. Upon independence in 1960, the former colony of French Congo became the Republic of the Congo. The People's Republic of the Congo was a Marxist–Leninist one-party state from 1970 to 1991. Multi-party elections have been held since 1992, although a democratically elected government was ousted in the 1997 Republic of the Congo Civil War and President Denis Sassou Nguesso has ruled for 26 of the past 36 years.
