Detailed explanation-1: -In 1904 Leopold II was forced to allow an international parliamentary commission of inquiry entry to the Congo Free State. By 1908, public pressure and diplomatic manoeuvres led to the end of Leopold II’s personal rule and to the annexation of the Congo as a colony of Belgium, known as the “Belgian Congo".
Detailed explanation-2: -The Congo Free State was a corporate state privately controlled by Leopold II of Belgium through the Association Internationale africaine, a non-governmental organization. Leopold was the sole shareholder and chairman. The state included the entire area of the present the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Detailed explanation-3: -Zaire, officially the Republic of Zaire (French: République du Zaïre) was the name of a country that is now called the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
