So this is out of my textbook:

"Of all the European possessions in Africa, one of the most exploited was the Belgian Congo. Belgium had ruthlessly plundered the colony's rich resources of rubber and copper. In addition, Belgian officials ruled with a harsh hand and provided the population with no social services. They also had made no attempt to prepare the people for independence. Not surprisingly, Belgium's granting of independence in 1960 to the Congo (known as Zaire from (1971 to 1997) resulted in upheaval."

So the items are rubber and copper. It made an impact on Zaire because Belgium robbed them of their rich resources and made them go downhill since Belgian's ruled harshly and didn't provide or help them with anything. Once they were able to be independent, turmoil ensued.
