In which year did Congo gain independence from Belgium?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1960

The Democratic Republic of the Congo gained independence from Belgium in 1960. Belgian colonial rule had controlled the territory and its resources, while political movements increasingly demanded self-government. Independence came on 30 June 1960, although the new country soon faced serious political and military difficulties. The date is therefore connected with the wider wave of African decolonization that followed the Second World War.

Option B, 1960, is correct. The other choices do not match Congo’s independence: 1947 is commonly associated with the independence of India and Pakistan, 1950 with the establishment of the Republic of India, and 1970 is not the independence year of Congo. A useful memory link is “Congo—Belgium—1960,” while also remembering that the country’s later history included instability and foreign involvement.
