| 词条 | Congolese nationalism (Democratic Republic of the Congo) |
| 释义 |
HistoryThe territory of the Congo was created by Belgian colonial rulers that borrowed the name used by the historic Kongo Kingdom. At the time there was no concept of a Congolese people however, as the people living within the region were divided into ethnic and tribal groups.[1] Congolese nationalism first erupted in 1959 during riots against Belgian colonial rule.[1] Attempts to solidify the country quickly collapsed after independence when Mobutu Sese Seko rebelled against the government of Patrice Lumumba in 1960.[1] After several years in power Mobutu renamed the country Zaire in 1971 and sought to define and forge a united Zairian nation through his policy of authenticity, that included efforts to purge Christianity from Zaire - for it was deemed as colonial.[1] There have been critics of Zairian/Congolese nationalism who believe that it was a manipulative ploy by Mobutu to gain legitimacy for his rule, though this criticism has been challenged by the persistence of a post-Mobutu nationalism after the fall of Mobutu from power and the renaming of the country to the Democratic Republic of Congo.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{Cite book|first1=Guntram H.|last1=Herb|first2=David H.|last2=Kaplan|title=Nations and Nationalism: A Global Historical Overview|location=Santa Barbara, California, USA|publisher=ABC-CLIO|year=2008|pages=1159–1165}} {{Nationalism}}{{Ethnic nationalism}} 4 : History of the Democratic Republic of the Congo|Democratic Republic of the Congo society|Politics of the Democratic Republic of the Congo|Congolese nationalism (Democratic Republic of the Congo) |
