Ubangi-Shari-Chad

Ubangi-Shari-Chad, or Oubangui-Chari-Tchad, was created in 1906 as a French colony in West Central Africa from Ubangi-Shari and Chad, believe it or not. Middle Congo and Gabon were added in 1910, then detached and made separate colonies in 1916. How confusing.

 * Beginning in 1915, Middle Congo stamps were overprinted OUBANGUI-CHARI-TCHAD with the overprinted broken into two lines on the vertical designs.
 * In 1916, two semipostal surcharges were issued, one with a black surcharge, the other in red, in different styles.
 * In 1920, Chad was split off into a separate colony. See: Chad and Ubangi-Shari.
