The Belgian Congo was a Belgian Colony in Central Africa from 1908.  Its capital was Leopoldville.  In 1971 it became Zaire with the capital Kinshasa.  Since 1997 it has been known as the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Initially called the Congo Free State from 1885, it became the Belgian Congo in 1907.  Both these entities issued their own stamps.  After independence in 1960, the State of Katanga seceded from the Republic of Congo and produced its own stamps during a three year independence period.  From 1960-61 South Kasai also seceded from the Republic.  Its stamps were overprinted “Belgian Congo”.
