The history of the Belgian Congo

The history of the Belgian Congo is a terrible sorrow that rarely causes human destruction. From 1885 to 1908, Congo was ruled by one person as his sole personal colony; irony was the ruler of his charity project, King Leopold II of Belgium. Looking for his colony, he founded Congo-Free State, a large land inside Africa, 76 times the size of his country (Hochschild, 87). A calm and respectable businessman Edmund Dene Morel wrote down some of the colonies that hid a series of greatest atrocities in human memory (Hochschild, 1).

In 1908, the Belgian government agreed to incorporate it into the Republic of the Congo of Belgium as a colony in order to solve the strong protests of the international community against the barbaric acts of the Congolese state. It also annexed the Katanga region of Canada Free State when Leopold killed Meshri and in 1891 sent an expedition to cut the neck. It is hanging from the pole. Leopold managed Katanga separately, but in 1910 the Belgian government merged it with the Congo of Belgium. The Belgian Congo is one of the three colonies that Belgium occupies.

The representative of the Congo of Belgium today is Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). That country's name is the Belgian Congo from Belgium, colonized by Ling Leopold II. This incident occurred on November 15, 1908. The Belgian Congo, which was independent on 30 June 1960, is still under Belgium control (absolute astronomy, paragraph 1). The purpose of this paper is to further deepen the formation of Belgian-Congo nationalist movement in Belgium / Congo under the rule of Leopold II.

Congolese colonial rule began at the end of the 19th century. King Belgium Leopold II tried to persuade the Belgian government to support the expansion of the colonial period of most of the undeveloped Congo Basin of the time. Their ambiguity led Leopold to create colonies himself. With the support of several Western countries, Leopold was internationally recognized as a private colony of Congo State in 1885. By the turn of the century, however, Congolese official violence and cruel economic exploitation by free state public servants led to a strong pressure on diplomacy against Belgian official governance in 1908 and founded the Belgian Congo in 1908.
