The Economic Impacts of The European Colonization of The Congo

Democratic Republic of the Congo is one of the world leading countries in the field of science and invention 22,000 years ago. In the 1950s, Belgian archaeologist J. de Heinzelin discovered a bone of 10 cm in length in the village of Ishango near the present border with Uganda. Heinzelin noticed the bone pattern of Ishango; he later concluded that the basic use of prehistoric equipment is as an arithmetic calculation of calculator and calendar (Pletser 1). Ishango Bones is a basic one, but it shows Congolese advanced mathematics and astronomy knowledge 220 years ago.

Presogo Cão traveled near the estuary of the Congo river in 1482 and claimed that this area is the same as the British Victoria River in Portugal. Congo was in the center of independent Africa until mid-nineteenth century as European colonialists rarely entered the interior. Due to the intense resistance of this area, Europeans become difficult to live due to tropical rainforests, wetlands, accompanying malaria and other diseases (such as sleeping diseases). Western countries are reluctant to settle in this area without major economic gains.

European colonial rule in Africa is one of the lowest points of so-called Western civilization (or so-called civilization in the West), but even in accordance with primitive accumulation criteria achieved by the British and French empire builders, History is terrible. Partially educated local people work as clerks, central management (who of course only supervise other Africans) and military officers do not threaten the control system, but rather the urban wishes of indigenous peoples We need to introduce to useful activities. . Numerous atrocities occurred under the British flag (Kenya) and Tricolore (Algeria), but they also tried to leave autonomous countries if they only continued to exploit previous colonies Was

Over the past 400 years colonization in Europe and intervention in the Congo destroyed people. Now this area has become a new name. And the Democratic Republic of Congo and the new leader Laurent Kabila wish the future will be higher. Since America and France are still very active in this area, Kabila can easily become another foreign ape easily. However, governments must always serve the people, and most importantly, such governments are destined to fail.
