Congo Brazzaville, the former French colony situated on the west side of the Congo River, has heretofore been called the Republic of Congo by the press. Its bigger and more notorious namesake, the Belgian Congo, has been known as "The Congo." Congo Leopoldville and Congo Brazzaville will be used until the two countries can agree upon a different name for one of them.
