*The Congo was exploited by Belgium and it left unprepared for independence which occurred in 1960.

*After independence civil war breaks out between rebel groups, nationalists and communists.

*The military, led by Mobutu Sese Seko seize power in 1965.

*Sese changes the country's name from The Congo to Zaire. Zaire should be a rich country because of its mineral wealth and natural resources but under Mobutu it becomes one of the continent's poorest. Mobutu is overthrown in 1997 and the country is left poverty stricken.
