In 1885, Belgium's King Leopold II deceived the world, claiming to civilize Africa while secretly exploiting the Congo as personal property. His Congo Free State forced millions into brutal rubber and ivory labor. Villages burned, families shattered, and those missing quotas lost hands or lives. Ten million died in two decades. Exposed by journalists in 1908, Leopold escaped justice, dying wealthy in 1909. Congo's wounds remain. #KingLeopoldIl #CongoFreeState #colonialatrocities #AfricanHistory
