Answer 1

Answer:

The crisis began almost immediately after the Congo became independent from Belgium and ended, unofficially, with the entire country under the rule of Joseph-Désiré Mobutu. ... A nationalist movement in the Belgian Congo demanded the end of colonial rule: this led to the country's independence on 30 June 1960.
