Commento
De 1885 à 1908, l’État indépendant du Congo est en fait la propriété privée du roi Léopold II. L’exploitation forcée des populations indigènes et les exactions comises alertent l’opinion publique. La publication en 1904 du rapport accablant du diplomate britannique Robert Casement pousse le gouvernement belge à en faire une colonie..
From 1885 to 1908, the Congo Free State was effectively the private property of King Leopold II. The forced exploitation of the indigenous population and the atrocities committed alerted public opinion. The publication in 1904 of the damning report by British diplomat Robert Casement prompted the Belgian government to turn it into a colony.
