peer agreement (net): +1Nom de la rivière Explanation: Le pays tient son nom de la rivière qui traverse la region colonisée par les français et les belges. La partie français est devenue indépendante sous le nom COngo-Brazzaville, la partie belge à adopté (sous Mobutu, si je ne me trompe pas) le nom de Zaire, pour se débarasser des noms imposés par les colonialistes. Le congolais appelle la rivière Congo aussi Zaire. Pour savoir plus, chercher sur google sous "congo histoire" |
