What happens
The sound of gunfire broke the silence of the morning. Belgian police units were dispatched to lead patriotic elements of the Force Publique into captivity, however they were met by a hail of bullets instead. The mutiny spreads quickly, and militias have begun to take up arms throughout the country. Support for the cause is widespread throughout the country, however Colonial forces retain control over several areas, particularly in those which they had been exploiting most readily and thus had the greatest military presence. This War of Independence has begun in earnest, and we will not rest until the Congo is free of European occupation.
