Talk:History of the Democratic Republic of the Congo

message: I'd suggest renaming Congo Free State and Belgian Congo, as they suggest articles about a former states, when in fact they are just history of a current state article. Consider also an example of History of Poland (1945–1989) vs. People's Republic of Poland, or History of Poland (1569-1795) vs. Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 21:27, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

message: What was this country's official name when it achieved independence?  Was it "Democratic Republic of Congo" or was it "Republic of Congo"?
The Wikipedia article Heads of state of the Democratic Republic of the Congo indicates that the country began as "Republic of Congo", became "Democratic Republic of Congo" in 1966, became "Zaire" in 1971, and reverted to "Democratic Republic of Congo" in 1997.
So, in 1960, at the moment of independence, what was the country called?  Were there two countries called "Republic of Congo"? Poldy Bloom 18:04, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I really like the 3-in-1 flag icon that has been created for the template of this series of articles; very creative and original! However, I still feel that an outline map would be even better, since those are only three of the flags that have been associated with this entity. //Big Adamsky 17:16, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

message: How can an article on the history of the DRC not mention when it first adopted that name?  It's been years since someone raised the question on this talk page, too! --76.69.46.228 (talk) 23:59, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
