Question 3 • HHS MA-World History II B-CR

Which best describes the withdrawal approach Belgium followed with the Congo in 1960?

Answer
A
Belgium withdrew gradually and continued a close association with the Congo.
B
Belgium withdrew in stages during a war to deny the Congo its independence.
C
Belgium withdrew from the Congo as quickly as possible.
D
Belgium withdrew from the Congo as slowly as possible.

Explanation

Belgium granted the Congo independence in 1960 after moving toward self-government very quickly, with little preparation or gradual transition. So the best description is that Belgium withdrew from the Congo as quickly as possible. This was not a staged withdrawal during a war to prevent independence.
