The Congo Basin, anchored by the Democratic Republic of Congo, has been a focal point of geopolitical interests and conflicts since the Western powers' conquest of Africa. The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 marked a pivotal moment in establishing the international status of the region, leading to ongoing foreign exploitation through multinational capitalism and imperialism. The area's rich resources, including water and forests, present both opportunities for development and potential for conflict, highlighting its complex role in international relations.
