Who colonized the Democratic Republic of the Congo?

Answer 1

France and Belgium both colonized the Congo. The Belgian Congo was a colonial state from 1908 - 1960. French Congo was a state from 1880 - 1960. In the late 1950's and early 1960's, many Central and West African countries declared their independence from their colonizing rulers, and most of them changed the name of their country as well. But throughout most of Africa, the national language has remained either English (countries formerly ruled by England) or French (those countries ruled by the French or the Belgians). Most Africans also speak a tribal language as well, their mother tongue, but English and French are the languages of public education, the government, the workplace, and commerce.
