1.5 - Crisis Averted?

 

In December 1962, ONUC launched Operation Grand Slam, brining Katanga to its knees and finally, FINALLY bringing it back into the Congo by 1963. This was not until after experiencing tragedy on account of Antoine Gizenga's conspiratorial followers, however. This is the end of ONUC, but we will return for a retrospective in the next episode and cover the neglected civilian operations in the mission as well.
