During the Cold War, the power blocks of the East and West vied to control the vast mineral resources of the former Belgian colony, The Congo. The Swedish Secretary General of the United Nations sent in UN troops as a mediating, independent force. But the UN's western delegates were infuriated by Hammarskjold's initiative and on his way to a ceasefire conference, his plane crashed in the African bush in mysterious circumstances.
