It was similar to the flag used between 1960 and 1963. That flag, in turn, was based on the flag which was originally used by <a href="/wiki/Leopold_II_of_Belgium" title="Leopold II of Belgium">King Leopold's</a> <a href="/wiki/Association_Internationale_Africaine" class="mw-redirect" title="Association Internationale Africaine">Association Internationale Africaine</a> and was first used in 1877. The 1877 design featured a yellow star on a blue background. The 1877 flag continued as the flag of the <a href="/wiki/Congo_Free_State" title="Congo Free State">Congo Free State</a> after the territory was recognized as an official possession of Leopold II at the <a href="/wiki/Berlin_Conference" title="Berlin Conference">Berlin Conference</a>. </p><p>After gaining independence from Belgium on 30 June 1960, the same basic design was maintained. However, six smaller stars were added to the <a href="/wiki/Glossary_of_vexillology" title="Glossary of vexillology">hoist</a> to symbolise the six provinces of the country at the time. This design was used only from 1960 to 1963. </p><p>The flag of the <a href="/wiki/Congo_Crisis" title="Congo Crisis">second Republic</a> of <a href="/wiki/Mobutu_Sese_Seko" title="Mobutu Sese Seko">Mobutu Sese Seko</a> became the official banner after Mobutu established his dictatorship. This flag was used from 1966 to 1971 and consisted of the same yellow star, now made smaller, situated in the top corner of the hoist side, with a red, yellow-lined band running diagonally across the center. The red symbolized the people's blood; the yellow symbolized prosperity; the blue symbolized hope; and the star represented unity.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The flag changed again when the country was renamed <a href="/wiki/Zaire" title="Zaire">Zaire</a> in 1971. The Zairean flag was created as part of Mobutu's attempted <a href="/wiki/Authenticit%C3%A9_(Zaire)" title="Authenticité (Zaire)">re-Africanization of the nation</a> and was used officially until Mobutu's overthrow in the <a href="/wiki/First_Congo_War" title="First Congo War">First Congo War</a>. The flag of Zaire was also used as the political-party flag of the <a href="/wiki/Popular_Movement_of_the_Revolution" title="Popular Movement of the Revolution">Popular Movement of the Revolution</a>, led by Mobutu. This flag was adopted by the <a href="/wiki/New_Zaire_(government_in_exile)" class="mw-redirect" title="New Zaire (government in exile)">New Zaire Government in Exile</a> formed in 2017 and was displayed used during a <a href="/wiki/2024_Democratic_Republic_of_the_Congo_coup_attempt" title="2024 Democratic Republic of the Congo coup attempt">failed coup attempt</a> in May 2024. </p><p>In 1997, when the Mobutu government was overthrown and the country assumed its current designation of Democratic Republic of the Congo, the country reverted to 1960s post-independence design, featuring a single large star and six smaller stars.
