Kinshasa was called leopoldville during the colonial era, when the ruling power was: Brussels.

Kinshasa is Capital of which country?

The largest and capital city of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is Kinshasa. It shares a single urban area with Brazzaville, the capital of the neighboring Republic of the Congo, and is located on the Congo River next to Pool Malebo. It is one of the biggest metropolitan areas in Africa and is regarded as a megacity.

The current city was founded in 1881 when Henry Morton Stanley opened a trade post there on behalf of the International Association of the Congo. In honor of King Leopold II, who served as his patron and went on to become King-Sovereign of the Congo Free State founded in 1885, he gave the town the names Léopoldville (French) and Leopoldstad (Dutch).

The triple alliance of 1882 began when prussia​
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Military alliance

Explanation:

Triple Alliance, secret agreement between Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy formed in May 1882 and renewed periodically until World War I. Germany and Austria-Hungary had been closely allied since 1879. Italy sought their support against France shortly after losing North African ambitions to the French. The treaty provided that Germany and Austria-Hungary were to assist Italy if it were attacked by France without Italian provocation; Italy would assist Germany if Germany were attacked by France. In the event of a war between Austria-Hungary and Russia, Italy promised to remain neutral. This abstention would have the effect of freeing Austrian troops that would otherwise have been needed to guard the Austrian-Italian border.

When the treaty was renewed in February 1887, Italy gained an empty promise of German support of Italian colonial ambitions in North Africa in return for Italy’s continued friendship. Austria-Hungary had to be pressured by German chancellor Otto Avon

Bismarck into accepting the principles of consultation and mutual agreement with Italy on any territorial changes initiated in the Balkans or on the coasts and islands of the Adriatic and Aegean seas. Italy and Austria-Hungary did not overcome their basic conflict of interest in that region, the treaty notwithstanding. On November 1, 1902, five months after the Triple Alliance was renewed, Italy reached an understanding with France that each would remain neutral in the event of an attack on the other. Although the alliance was again renewed in 1907 and 1912, Italy entered World War I in May 1915 in opposition to Germany and Austria-Hungary.

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

His main objective was to overthrow the Cuban President, Fidel Castro

Explanation:

After President Kennedy assumed office, he was let in on a plan designed to overthrow Castro. The plan involved giving different military training to Cuban exiles and then sending them to invade Cuba and defeat Castro. Kennedy's advisors assured him that the plan would work but Castro got wind of the plan and only 300 out of 1,200 people sent survived the onslaught. The failure in the plan created more tension between the United States and other communist countries.
