It was first called French Congo, and after 1905Middle Congo. With Gabon and Ubangi-Shari, it became the colony of French Equatorial Africain 1910. Abuse of laborers led to public outcry against the French colonialists as well asrebellions among the Congolese, but the exploitation of the native workers continued until 1930.During World War II, the colony joined Chad in supporting the Free French cause against theVichy government. The Congo proclaimed its independence without leaving the Community in 1960, calling itself the Republic of Congo
