Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rapid descent into civil disarray in the Congo after gaining independence from Belgium was significantly due to the failure of Belgium to prepare the colony for self-rule. Belgium's abrupt exit left a power vacuum and a lack of experienced local leaders and administrative structures necessary for a smooth transition to independence.
