French Equatorial Africa, federation of French colonies comprising Middle Congo, Chad, Ubangi-Shari, and Gabon. Chad's Guyanese governor, Félix Eboué, declared for
de Gaulle and the Free French in August 1940, and the same month Free French sympathizers seized control in the Middle Congo whose capital, Brazzaville, was also the administrative centre for Ubangi-Shari and Gabon. The last, after rallying temporarily to the Free French cause, altered its allegiance when
Vichy French Forces arrived. It eventually fell to Gaullist and British troops in October 1940 (see
Gabon campaign) and Eboué was established in Brazzaville as governor-general of what was called the Equatorial Federation. See also
Brazzaville conference.
