Aneli [31]4 years ago

Answer:

The period of conflict and political upheaval in  the Republic of Congo is known as Congo Crisis. It began immediately when it got freedom from Belgium and Joseph Desire Mobutu became its dictator, during the crisis he was serving as Chief of staff of the Army. The Congo crisis was an indirect conflict during  the Cold War in which  Belgium and United states supported Mobutu.  More than 90,000 people were killed in the crisis and Mobutu seized power from president Kasavubu in 1965.

The Belgian Congo, French Congo Belge, was the previous settlement in Africa, ruled by Belgium from 1908 until 1960. It was established by the Belgian parliament to supplant the past, exclusive Congo Free State, after worldwide shock over maltreatment there brought weight for supervision and responsibility.

The official Belgian frame of mind was paternalism: Africans were to be thought about and prepared as though they were youngsters. They had no job in enactment, yet customary rulers were utilized as operators to gather charges and enroll work; uncooperative rulers were dismissed. In the late 1950s, when France and the United Kingdom worked with their states to get ready for freedom, Belgium still depicted the Congo as an ideal place that is known for parent-child connections among Europeans and Africans.

What were 2 major events that led to increased tensions between Great Britain and the colonies?
Elanso [62]
First of all, (just to clear this up) the conflict and tension between GB and the colonies was a lot more complex than 2 events.  The ones I will name here are important, but take them more as a symbol of the breaking ties of GB and the colonies than the only 2 things that led to the American Revolution (aka take this answer with a grain of salt, it is too simple to be complete).
1)  The Sugar Acts/Stamp Acts/Townsend Acts (1763-66):  Following the French and Indian war (also known as the 7 years war)  Britain had huge amounts of debt from fighting overseas.  Many British were outraged that they had to pay the tax alone, because they believed the colonists were responsible for the war.  So the British government did what it thought was right and taxed the colonists through 3 direct taxes.  These taxes (named above) taxed sugar, paper goods, tea, paper, paint, some metals, and a variety of other things.  Colonists were outraged that they were being directly taxed without representation in the British Government and rebelled by boycotting goods, and harming tax collectors, but one especially good example was the Boston tea party, in which Colonists dumped entire cases of British tea into the Boston Harbor to rebel against taxes.
2) Intolerable acts:  As a result of the Boston Tea Party, Britain created a series of laws aimed at punishing the colonies for their rebellious behaviour.  These were known as the Intolerable acts by colonists and included such things as closing down the Boston Harbor and requiring that the dumped tea be paid for.  This was the last straw for many radical colonists, as they believed that their basic rights had been clearly infringed.  These radicals used ideas from the Enlightenment to justify trying to sever ties with Great Britain.
