French Equatorial Africa was a confederation of French colonies in the central part of Africa, from the late 1800's until shortly before full independence from France in 1960. The four colonies are now the modern-day nations of Gabon, Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, and Chad (Chad did not join the confederation until 1920). Gabon and Congo are primarily covered by rain forest, while the Central African Republic area is mostly savanna and Chad is mostly covered by desert.

abstract
  • French Equatorial Africa was a confederation of French colonies in the central part of Africa, from the late 1800's until shortly before full independence from France in 1960. The four colonies are now the modern-day nations of Gabon, Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, and Chad (Chad did not join the confederation until 1920). Gabon and Congo are primarily covered by rain forest, while the Central African Republic area is mostly savanna and Chad is mostly covered by desert. French Equatorial Africa was not a battleground during World War I, though French and Belgian-French forces attacked the German colony of Cameroon from the French colonies.
