DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO TODAY

What happens to Congo?

In 1876, King Leopold of Belgium explored and colonized Congo Free State, which is located in central Africa. Many Western European nations, such as Great Britain, France, and Belgium had attempted to seek unknown countries so that they could not only obtain political power but also obtain wealth. They, in fact, controlled the regions conquered and exploited labor for cropping and mining raw materials. However, to justify their atrocities, the nations gave the public a reasonable statement that they came for a civilizing mission, spreading Christianity and European culture. In other words, they wanted to make non-civilized people live better. Therefore, the wretched colonization had begun, especially in Congo (McKay 817).
Now, I will elaborate on a number of tragic facts about the colonization of Congo.
