Abstract
The Republic of the Congo became independent on 15 Aug. 1960, after having been one of the 4 territories of French Equatorial Africa (under the name of Middle Congo) and from 28 Nov. 1958 a member state of the French Community. In Jan. 1959 it formed an ‘economic, technical and customs union’ with the other 3 territories of the former government-general of French Equatorial Africa.
