==History==
===Cold War and the Third World War===
Formerly a colony of France, it became independent on 15 August 1960. Sadly, the country did not enjoy much leisure and peace, as just eight years later, the Congolese military took charge of the country briefly and installed a pro-Soviet and Chinese government under Alphonse Massamba-Débat, only to then have the government be taken over again, this time by Marien Ngouabi and other army officers, who proclaimed the People's Republic of the Congo, Africa's first People's Republic.
The People's Republic of the Congo shared close ties with both the Soviet Union and France. During the Third World War, a savannah in Congo was the base of operation of the Arms Dealers - when Martin MacDonald was sent to meet with Kali Bambo in 1991 to purchase the Laser Stabilizer from him, a division of Congolese army followed him to the camp, but was soon overwhelmed by Kali's men who eradicated them all.
