    The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, also known as "Zaire"; Congo Brazzaville, i.e. the Republic of the Congo. The French name of both countries is "congo", so the abbreviation of their respective capitals is added to distinguish the names of the two countries——— "gold" means "Kinshasa" and "Brazzaville" means "Brazzaville".

    In the late 13th and early 14th centuries, the Bantu people established the Kingdom of Kongo in the lower reaches of the Congo River. From the 15th century onwards, Portuguese, Dutch, British, French, and Belgian invaded one after another. From 1884 to 1885, the Berlin Conference on the partition of Africa divided the area east of the Congo River into a Belgian colony, that is, today's Congo (DRC), and the area west of the Congo River as a French colony, which is now Congo (Brazzaville).

    On August 15, 1960, Congo (Brazzaville) gained full independence and was named the Republic of the Congo. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) became independent on 30 June 1960.

    Both countries belonged to the same kingdom in the 13th century, called the Kingdom of Kongo, and at that time, the Kingdom of Kongo was a large country in Africa and was extremely influential in Africa. At the end of the 15th century, the Portuguese colonists first invaded, but were forced to evacuate in the early 17th century due to resistance. But the Kingdom of the Congo tended to disintegrate under the provocation.

    At the end of the 19th century, the region was divided between France, Belgium and Portugal, and it was not until after World War II that the three countries of Angola, Congo, Gabon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo gained independence.

    The Kingdom of Kongo was founded in the second half of the 14th century, led by a monarch named Nimi Lukki, who used force to take most of the tribes scattered in the Congo River valley and establish a centralized state. When it was discovered by the Portuguese in 1483, it had already been passed down to the fifth or eighth generation of monarchs, but the date of the event has not yet been fully defined due to incomplete information on the Kingdom of Kongo before the arrival of the Portuguese.

    From the perspective of history, the Congo (Brazzaville) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) were really once the same country, and the name of the country was the Kingdom of Congo, a country that once dominated the African continent.

    Recently, many people have asked whether the DRC and the DRC are the same country. Obviously, this question is still more embarrassing to ask, if you look at a little African history, this question is still easier to answer, in fact, it is also very simple, that is, the DRC and Congo are not the same country, so what is the difference between them? Let's analyze it together.

    First of all, it is certain that the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo are not one country now, but two relatively independent countries. Why use the word relative to describe it. That's because historically, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo were once one country.

    It's just that with the course of history, it has now become two countries.

    In the second half of the 14th century, the Kingdom of Kongo was established over most of the Congo River basin.

    When the Portuguese entered in 1483, the two countries were friendly and open**, and Portugal also helped the Kingdom of Kongo to expand, which lasted until 1575.

    The situation changed in 1575 when the Portuguese founded Angola. In 1622, Portugal slashed at the Kingdom of Kongo. But Portugal could not defeat the Kingdom of Kongo.

    But in 1641, when the Dutch captured Rwanda, the Kingdom of Kongo joined the attack on Portugal, but the Dutch fled, and the Kingdom of Kongo was defeated.

    The two sides confronted each other until October 29, 1665, when the Battle of Mbuwila took place, in which the main force of the Kingdom of Kongo was routed and King Antonio I was beheaded.

    But the Congolese people did not agree, and they have been fighting with the Portuguese. Therefore, the Portuguese have not been able to control the Congo, and at this time, various local forces in the Congo have also taken the opportunity to rise, and the Congo has entered the stage of princely disputes, with hundreds of large and small countries in the forest.

    While Portugal was settling the Congolese affair, Belgium also stepped in and gradually gained influence. So at the 1884 Conference of the Great Powers to Divide Africa, Portugal was forced to carve up the Congo with themselves, with the Congo River as the boundary.

    On June 30, 1960, the Congo was independently established by Belgium, referred to as "DRC"; On August 15, 1960, the territory partitioned by France also declared independence, also called Congo, and asked to distinguish between the two, and the gold became cloth. Abbreviated as "Congo (Brazzaville)".
