The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) was formerly known as Zaire from 1971 to 1997. Before that, it was known as the Belgian Congo during colonial rule, gaining independence in 1960. The name change to Zaire was part of a broader effort by then-President Mobutu Sese Seko to promote a national identity. The country returned to its original name, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, after Mobutu was ousted in 1997.
