It is important to note that French Congo is Congo-Brazzaville (Republic of Congo). Belgian Congo is Congo-Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo), which is significantly larger.
The French conquered Congo-Brazzaville in 1880 as a result of Pierre de Brazza's treaty with Makoko of the Bateke.
Brazzaville is the capital city of the Republic of the Congo (formerly "The Congo" or French Middle Congo). The country is currently a socialist dictatorship.This country is often confused with its neighbor, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly the Belgian Congo or Zaire). The capital of the DRC is Kiinshasa, directly across the Congo River from Brazzaville.
