Answer:

Belgium

Step-by-step explanation:

The Rubber Industry. In the 1890's, rubber saw a major price boom with the invention of inflatable rubber bicycle tubes and the growing popularity of the automobile. This led to massive profits for the Belgian colonists in the Congo and increased exploitation of the native population
