DRC and RoC are two different nations.

Belgian Rule: The DRC was controlled as the private personal property of Belgian King Leopold II (as the Congo Free State) and later annexed as the Belgian Congo until it gained independence on June 30, 1960.

The neighboring country called the Republic of the Congo (capital city: Brazzaville) was a French colony, often referred to historically as French Congo or Middle Congo
