Abstract Details

2013, Master of Arts, Miami University, History.
One week after the Congo gained independence on June 30, 1960, there was instability. As the largest and richest country in Africa, the Congo found itself in the midst of a volatile political, economic, and social situation, raising the concern about accessibility to resources there. The United States decided to intervene. Several American companies and individuals had direct and indirect economic ties to the Congo. This thesis focuses on those individuals and companies and how they influenced the United States policy in the Congo during the Congo crisis of 1960-64. It analyzes Department of State memos, conversations, newspaper reports, and mineral import data to understand the motivations and decisions made by the Department of State officials in regard to the Congo.
