Henry Morton Stanley is responsible for the death of around 10 million congolese people because he wanted fame, so he traveled around the congo exploring and forcing people to sign treaty to give him control. Leaving them with little to no power over the people, he would use this advantage to force the Congolese people to do hard labor and for him to exploit them. He did not care much about the people he was traveling with, wanting all of the recognition for himself. This would make it easy for him to abuse exploit and kill 10 million Congolese people.
