Answer 1

The response that best evaluates why the Belgian Congo was unable to attain peace immediately after gaining independence is:

The Belgian military leaders maintained power over Congolese soldiers.

This reflects the ongoing influence and control that the remnants of colonial authority had over the newly formed Congolese government and military, which contributed to instability and conflict following independence. The other options either misrepresent the historical context or focus on individual leadership rather than systemic issues.
