Belgian Congo ( ) This area caught Europe’s attention as a Minister from Scotland, also known as David Livingstone, went in search for the source of the Nile. It was when David Livingstone didn’t return, making them presume he was dead, that it started appealing to the people. Henry Stanley, from Wales was hired to go on a quest to find the missing Minister, only to find him near the Lake of Tanganyika. After his return to Africa in 1871, he signed a treaty with the local chiefs, giving power to King Leopold II.

Terror Regime King Leopold II stated his intention of abolishing the slave trade in Congo, but never intended to go through with it. His violence and force towards the Congolese were exceptional and extreme, they were oppressed a great deal. People were ordered to gather sap from the trees and was forced to work as the oppressors commanded, not provided time to nurture their own crops. The time of King Leopold II’s rule is well known as, the TERROR REGIME. King Leopold II stated his intention of abolishing the slave trade in Congo, but never intended to go through with it.

Perspective of the Europeans- Belgians  Belgium was categorized as a paternalistic colonialism.  Some members of Parliament wanted to incorporate the Congo into the Belgian Kingdom.  Belgians were not interested in its colony as much because they never had a long-term vision.  Belgium was the first nation to rule a part of Africa, therefore, they had many benefits.  Access to raw materials.  More trade routes along the rivers and lakes.  Belgium was categorized as a paternalistic colonialism.  Some members of Parliament wanted to incorporate the Congo into the Belgian Kingdom.  Belgians were not interested in its colony as much because they never had a long-term vision.  Belgium was the first nation to rule a part of Africa, therefore, they had many benefits.  Access to raw materials.  More trade routes along the rivers and lakes.

Perspective of the Africans- Congolese  First time of being ruled by another nation with the people around the same area as one. -Earlier, Africans were divided into many groups mainly depending on their traditional beliefs.  Congolese were treated as slaves and brutally. -Forced labor, excessive taxation and abuses.  However, Congo was the first community to develop greatly in Africa.  First time of being ruled by another nation with the people around the same area as one. -Earlier, Africans were divided into many groups mainly depending on their traditional beliefs.  Congolese were treated as slaves and brutally. -Forced labor, excessive taxation and abuses.  However, Congo was the first community to develop greatly in Africa.
