Back to Africa

Central African Republic, a landlocked country in Central Africa, was the French territory of Ubangi-Shari in 1894. It was united with Chad in 1905 and joined with Middle Congo and Gabon in 1910 to become French Equatorial Africa. Upon dissolution of the federation in 1958, the four territories became full autonomous members of the French Community. Unbagi-Shari proclaimed complete independence as the Central African Republic in 1960. It's a member of the monetary union of Central African States. For a more detailed country profile, see CIA World Factbook on Central African Republic.
