#blackhistory #africanews #palestine #israel
Today, we embark on an exploration of one of the most somber episodes of European colonialism. It is a tale marked by exploitation, avarice, and inhumanity, which continues to cast a long shadow over our world. Our focus turns to the infamous King Leopold the Second of Belgium and his ruthless dominion over the Congo Free State.

While some may regard history as dry and uninteresting, the narrative we are about to unfold is far from mundane. It is a narrative of a monarch consumed by an insatiable thirst for dominion and riches, viewing an entire nation merely as a resource to be plundered.

Under Leopold's rule, the Congo Free State transformed into a veritable hell on Earth for its indigenous inhabitants. Millions of Congolese were coerced into labor camps, subjected to brutal working conditions, and those who resisted or failed to meet the king's demands suffered death or mutilation. The exploitation was so severe that the Congo's population dwindled from 20 million to 10 million during Leopold's reign.

Shockingly, this dark chapter in history remains relatively unknown. King Leopold the Second and the atrocities he committed in the Congo remain obscure to many. Yet, as we shall explore today, the repercussions of his reign still resonate in the Congo and reverberate worldwide. This is a narrative that demands attention. So, without further delay, let us delve into the horrors of King Leopold's dominion over the Congo Free State.

To comprehend the horrors that unfolded in the Congo under King Leopold the Second, we must begin at the outset of his reign. In the late 19th century, European powers engaged in a frenzied rush to colonize Africa, exploiting its resources and people for their own economic benefit. King Leopold the Second of Belgium, a cunning and ambitious ruler, perceived this as an opportunity to amass personal wealth and power.

As a shrewd monarch, he recognized the imperative for Belgium to establish a colony akin to other European powers. Moreover, he was an unscrupulous businessman who saw the potential for colossal riches to be derived from the exploitation of Africa's bountiful natural resources.
