Answer:
Leopold II established a colony in the Congo to gain natural resources for Belgium and wealth for himself. Under his reign, the Congolese people were terrorized with forced labor and harsh treatment. He wrongly justified his actions by saying that the people of the Congo were inferior, and deserved the treatment they received.
or
King Leopold II of Belgium owned this portion of the Congo’s territory, close to the Congo River. He killed thousands of people and took away the territory natural resources to his benefit. King Leopold II enslaved people from Africa and made work in the mines to extract the rubber.
