  • Cover photo description:
  • Monument of Leopold II, the king of Belgians, in Brussles, the capital of Belgium. Leopold II was the second King of the Belgians from 1865 to 1909 and the owner and absolute ruler of the Congo Free State from 1885 to 1908. Leopold`s administration of the Congo Free State was characterised by atrocities, including torture and murder, resulting from notorious systematic brutality. The hands of men, women, and children were amputated when the quota of rubber was not met and millions of the Congolese people died. Colonial accounts typically emphasized Leopold`s modernizing changes in the Congo and not the mass death he facilitated.
