Republic of the Congo, on the map of history
What was Republic of the Congo before it was Republic of the Congo? Below, every era of this land in the Maps of History collection — who ruled it, what it was called, and when control changed — each line linked to the dated map that shows it. Modern borders stand in as an honest approximation; every atlas says so on the map itself.
