Answer:

B. Africans in the Belgian Congo suffered forced labor and

oppression.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Belgian Congo was the name of the territory administered by the Kingdom of Belgium in Africa since November 15, 1908, when it was established following strong international pressures caused by the harsh government regime exercised by Leopold II of Belgium. On June 30, 1960 he became independent with the name of Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The abundant wealth (rubber, ivory, mines, etc.) of the Congo prompted the crown and the concessionary companies to undertake a brutal exploitation of their population. Between 1880 and 1926, the Congolese population decreased by half. Some historians designate this period as a "forgotten holocaust."
