Amazing 😔😔😔

Good ol colonialism and all the good stuff that come with it.

THE BEST

The Best

A King so reprehensible even God and nature didn't want his bloodline to continue. I personally think that Belgium is fortunate that none of it's subsequent monarchs were descended from this total monster

What's Congo like these days?

The cobalt stuff with Congo and Sudan makes sm sense now

No one was innocent. They made it contest. Who was the first to grab and exploit. They built their so called mansions from Africa (blood)

Great guy 😁👍

It's scary that history just keeps on repeating itself

I just can't understand how the British Monarch ain't here. Do people realize how many people were killed in the name of this monarch? Over 100 million in India alone. Leopold was horrible to my fellow Africans but the master of this all were the Brits. They did it all in the name of their monarch

And Europeans think Africans woke up one day and decided to be violent.

Sorry but total population of RDC was about 8 million in 1890....telling that 20 millions were killed is wrong , look at statistics and population before please. Second, these people did consume apes, you already saw an ape in a marmite? it's like a human , stories about cannibalisms and humans killed and eaten are exaggerated and shows little knowledge of local situation

Não faz tanto tempo que isso aconteceu 😢😢

So what. History is filled with stories like this. Ie the romans, the ottomans. The moors etc. On and on people hurt people. Stop moaning about the past and be positive about the future

"they used bullets for hunting and in order to not face consequences, cut hands of innocent Congo people." I cannot tell you how much this statement has horrified and made me gag

And still he isn't in the list of the most wicked people.

All of this, just for rubber? You can make tires ethically and still profit, you know.

i feel ashamed as a belgian

King Leopold just cooperate the name of Christianity by been a Christian

literally TND /qa/ won /qa/ will win again

What Stanley did to the poor inhabitants of congo, is the same as what the British East Indies did to Sulu Kings of the Philippines for Sabah..... exploited them and made atrocities of the present

Why did Europeans believe they were entitled to own the world? Is megalomania something genetic to those with lighter skin tones? I'm genuinely curious. I have read that most people of European descent have Neanderthal DNA. Maybe that's something to explore?

may every single soul rest in peace that lost their life n loved ones to this atrocities in the commands of this monster..

Google what France is doing in Mayote and Comoros to this very day, in the year 2023. Its incomprehensible.

Why didn't his brutality spread to the Belgian mainland?

I must wonder why they needed to cut off hands specifically considering that they needed the native people to farm for rubber, but I’ve given up trying to question King Leopold’s logic at this point

US backed coup... I´m suprised 🙂

Sometimes you watch these things and you wonder if they are just a product of their times but Leopoldo was just a horror all his own.

Rubber vines not trees as shown in this video 😂

Based Leopold II

Now thats a man who's tributes should be removed and burned

So basically if all the browns and blacks combine their history...there is so much blood spilled that europe can filter the water out of it..and drink it for years...
Europeans- hurt by evrything ashamed of nothing.

Western rule the world cruel and now they are afraid. So they want other to stay democracies.

Human is possibly one of the most cruelty species in the universe

# ** whites of Europe

and what’s kinda terrorizing Is that my great great grandfather (on my dad’s side) he was live to witness these events (he was born in 1903)

Hail King Leopold dude sounds badass.

Never heard of him until today. Grim stuff

Wow...first time I heard of this mass murderer...the European colonizers did an amazing job to conceal this shameful greed, barbarism and exploitation for so long

Cool King
Rubber is useful✌

Hope one day all the suffering that has been inflicted on the colonized people returns back to Europe, multiplied! The life of comfort and the sense of superiority....the sense of authority Europe thinks it has is so toxic...no shame...no remorse.....no amount of reparations can be enough for the generational trauma and disrupted political and social situations in the former colonies these European imperial powers had created....name it....any one dispute...land-border dispute...you can find names of these European imperial powers involved in it....be it in African countries....Kashmir....Israel....you find these powers involved. SHAME.

Sounds like Belgians were brothers of brits . Same p le zom bies doing unimaginable atrocities

Stanley fought in the American civil war

Leopold II was basically reincarnated from Genghis Khan.

How am i just now hearing about this

This is happens when non Muslim dominate. Muslims will rise to save the weak people from the wicked sons of Adam peace be upon him

Leopold II in a league of his own

I am sure he isnt as bad as Stalin.i wonder how many he kill!
