N1  - Lex: 750
N2  - "Leopold II was king of the Belgians. 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
