But that wasn`t enough for his outsized ego. He wanted a colony - and he found it in Africa, along the congo River. Leopold said he had the best intentions in the Congo. He wanted to end slavery, open the land to trade, and set up schools. For nearly two decades, the king`s lies fooled the world. It would take a heroic effort to uncover the evil secrets of Leopold`s Congo. By then millions of lives had been ruined". Tells the story of Leopold II, King of the Belgians, who claimed he was helping the people in a colony of Africa along the Congo River, but was really found to be promoting slavery and other ills. 3 Text Unmediated Volume lcc BK rizal 2015-04-07 23:18:30 mtoledo 2016-01-12 10:29:28 6257 6236 6236 0 0 ddc 0 0 BED BED BED 2025-12-21 967.51022092 O52l c2008 GS2108 2026-06-18 00:00:00 2025-12-21 BK
