The crisis in the Congo was a period of political turmoil and conflict in the Republic of the Congo (today the Democratic Republic of the Congo) between 1960 and 1965. The crisis began after Congo became independent from Belgium and ended, unofficially, when the whole country was placed under the rule of Josef-Desire Mobut.

By establishing a series of civil wars, the crisis in Congo was also a proxy conflict in  a cold war, in which the Soviet Union and the United States supported opposing factions. About 100,000 people are believed to have been killed during the crisis.

Proxy war is an armed conflict between the two opposing sides, even states can be, with these parties acting on behalf of others who are not directly involved in hostilities.

The right answer is B. proxy war

THE ANSWER WILL BE B
