French Equatorial Africa
French Equatorial Africa was a big piece of land that belonged to France a long time ago. Imagine a world map in front of us – French Equatorial Africa was on the left side of the map, near the middle part of Africa. It was made up of four different countries - Chad, the Central African Republic, Congo Brazzaville, and Gabon.
France decided to take this land because they wanted to use it to grow crops like cocoa, peanuts, and rubber. They also wanted to have control over the people living there, and make them follow French laws and rules.
In French Equatorial Africa, there were different types of people who lived there - people from tribes, who had their own language and customs, and French people who came to live there from France. The French people made the rules for everyone to follow, even though some of them didn't understand or agree with the rules.
French Equatorial Africa lasted for a long time, but eventually, the people of each country decided that they wanted to be their own country and not be ruled by France anymore. So they got their own leaders and formed their own governments, and now they are independent countries.
