European Explorers in Africa 19c  Europeans Map the Interior of Africa

Where Is Dr. Livingstone? Doctor Livingstone, I Presume? Sir Henry Morton Stanley Dr. David Livingstone was a Scottish Congregationalist pioneer medical missionary with the London Missionary Society and an explorer in Africa.

European Explorations in mid-19c: “The Scramble for Africa”

Scramble for Africa King Leopold of Belgium claimed central Africa claiming he was doing it to protect the natives from Arab slavers and to open the heart of African to Christian missionaries and western capitalists The area he controlled, the Congo River Basin, is now modern-day Democratic Republic of Congo

King Leopold II: (r – 1909)

Belgium’s Stranglehold on the Congo The king unleashed new horrors on the African continent. He turned his “Congo Free state” into a massive labor camp made a fortune for himself from the harvest o rubber. He contributed in a large way to death of perhaps 10 million innocent people in the process. Congo’s soldiers have never moved away from the role allocated to them by Leopold which was to force, coerce, torment, and rape an unarmed civilian population.

Harvesting Rubber

Punishing “Lazy” Workers

5-8 Million Victims! (50% of Popul.) It is blood-curdling to see them (the soldiers) returning with the hands of the slain, and to find the hands of young children amongst the bigger ones evidencing their bravery...The rubber from this district has cost hundreds of lives, and the scenes I have witnessed, while unable to help the oppressed, have been almost enough to make me wish I were dead... This rubber traffic is steeped in blood, and if the natives were to rise and sweep every white person on the Upper Congo into eternity, there would still be left a fearful balance to their credit. -- Belgian Official
