The Belgian Commonwealth

Nation Information
'Pre-History'

The Congo was first colonized by the Belgians in 1870, ordered and sponsored the purchase of the Congo from the native tribes that lived there. The lands were tilled, colonists worked and the colony thrived for many years. The Belgian Colonial army played a large role in the defeat of Facist Italy in World War II, and stablized there own country from internal revolt.

However, the Congoese people were not happy, they wanted autonomy, and would get it peacefully in 1965, pushed b the hero of the Free Congo movement, Patrice Lumumba.

However shortly after there announcement of independence, a civil war broke out (This is where the CN History kicks in) over what kind of goverment to have. The Belgians watched in awe as there former colony ripped it self in a civil war rooted in insanity.

'The First Return'

For a long period of time, the Congo had been dominated by civil war, fascism, and corruption. The people of Belgium looked at the former colony in shambles, and decided that order must be restored, the Congo must be under the Belgian flag for the people to be free. After a uniamous vote by the Belgian parlament, a colonization convoy was established. They set off, in hopes that the Congoese people would welcome them with open arms. They were wrong.

The first convoy was a disaster, the settlers were captured and impressed into rebel factions to fight there civil war of the Fascist Party versus the Democratic party. However with the impressment, came a final victory of the fascists, and the establishment of the Regime, as it was known. Again the Belgians watched in awe as the Congoee turned on there fellow people, and made a mockery of Belgian supremacy. The First Return failed, but a second was soon to be launched, to defeat the Regime, and the fascists to liberate a oppressed people.

'The Second Return'

Conrad von Himmler, a politcian and rising star in Belgium addressed the Belgian parlament to fund a second operation. They refused, and Conrad left in saddness and despair. However he didn't give up.

He began to collect donations and sponsors to fund another expedition. After raising 10 billion euros, he addressed the Belgian parlament again. They humbly supported Conrad in his Second Return. They entrusted him with soldiers and volunteer colonists to fight the Regime.

So it began. On May 29, 2006 Begian soldiers liberated the Congo from Fascist grip and established a Commonwealth to be guided by the mother countrym yet entirely independant.

From then, the Belgian Commonwealth was born. A free nation that would now forever establish a beacon of order within the Congo. With Conrad as the Consul of the Belgian Commonwealth, the path was set for greatness.
