Brazzaville Conference
The Brazzaville Conference (French: Conférence de Brazzaville) was a meeting of prominent Free French leaders held from 30 January to 8 February 1944 in Brazzaville, the capital of French Equatorial Africa, during World War II. After the Fall of France to Nazi Germany, the collaborationist Vichy France regime controlled the colonies. One by one, however, they peeled off and switched their allegiance to the exiled Free France government led by Charles de Gaulle.
