The United States and the Soviet Union competed.
The dark clouds of the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union competed for hegemony. Caribbean Crisis: It was an event that occurred in 1962 during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. Congo Leopoldville: In 1959, the Belgian colony of the Belgian Belgian Congo marched for independence. The Belgian military and police launched a crackdown, resulting in nearly 300 casualties. The Belgian government then agreed to independence on 30 June 1960. However, just 11 days after the birth of the Republic of Congo, the governor of Katanga Province, Chong Bo, declared independence.
Prime Minister Lumumba of the Republic of the Congo, who considers himself the President of the Katanga Republic, requested urgent military assistance from the United Nations in order to stop the secession. The United Nations organized the first Blue Helmets for this purpose. After the Blue Helmets entered the Congo, Chong Bo staged a coup d'état to overthrow the Lumumba government and take over power. The Blue Helmets protected Lumumba but did not hedge against him. The military action taken by the rebel groups has aroused the dissatisfaction of the Congolese people, and what happened in Africa has fully exposed what imperialism has been pursuing for a long time. After World War II, there was no colonial policy of weapons. The Soviet Union used it as an excellent target to attack the Western camp led by the United States, denouncing the United States in order to gain Soviet influence in Africa.
The fifteenth session of the United Nations Congress is taking place at a time when events in the Congo are raging. Khrushchev personally led the Soviet delegation to the congress. As a result of the recent U2 incident, New York's welcome to him cooled considerably. The current session of the UN General Assembly began with the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union. Khrushchev first slapped the table and coaxed, then took off his leather shoes and tapped them on the tabletop. Khrushchev also did not always lose his temper, he brought a proposal from the Soviet delegation asking the United Nations to take note of the cause of the liberation of the colonial peoples and set a date for the independence of the colony.
He noted that some of the established colonialists who had withdrawn from the colonies were still using their residual influence to maintain colonial rule. The question came at a time when Prime Minister Lumumba of the Republic of the Congo was snatched from the Blue Helmets by Chongbo and abducted to Katanga province. How did Chong Bo kidnap Lumumba from the Blue Helmets? No one can say clearly. The fact that it is true is that Lumumba was soon killed by Chong Bo, who was in cahoots with the old colonizers.
