The Congo Crisis | Understanding Katanga's Attempted Secession

The Congo Crisis was a key moment in the development of modern attitudes towards secession. In 1960, the province of Katanga unsuccessfully tried to break away from the newly independent Republic of the Congo. (Now known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo.) In this video, I explore why its effort to secede failed and why the consequences of this are still felt by independence movements around the world to this very day. Hello and welcome!

And yet it was profoundly important in terms of shaping modern attitudes towards secession. Katanga's attempt to break away from the Republic of the Congo effectively marked the moment when the international community took a firm stance against unilateral attempts to declare independence. However, as is shown, this was only possible because of a very unusual convergence of interests between the two Cold War Super Powers, the United States and the Soviet Union. More to the point, the Congo Crisis galvanised opinion amongst the world's newly independent post-colonial countries. As a result, the international community's strong aversion to secession in the modern era became cemented at this point. On a separate note, the Congo Crisis also had a profound affect of the United Nations. It represented a rare example of when a UN peacekeeping mission (ONUC) became directly involved in fighting as a partisan actor. Some of the events covered in this video were dramatised in the 2016 Netflix film, 'Siege of Jadotville', which looks at how a small unit of the Irish Army became under heavy attack during the Congo Crisis and Katanga's secession. I am also extremely grateful to my friend and colleague Mikulas Fabry. This video is based on a section of a book we are currently completing. (Link below.)
