He killed 10 million people by cutting off their hands/genitals, flogging them to death, starving them into forced labor, holding children ransom and burning villages (James 2011). He did all of these things through his "minions" and never stepped a foot into the Congo (James 2011).

No one really liked Leopold, not even his family. He bore two children from a teenage prostitute when he was 65. He is mostly remembered for the death of 10 million Africans in the Congo. He is known as the butcher of the Congo for this unjust genocide.

King Leopold acquired ownership of the Congo as the Monarch of Belgium and was deceptive in his actions throughout his ownership (James 2011). In reality, the International African Association that he became a shareholder of was just a way to enslave the people of the Congo River Basin and make King Leopold II rich. (James 2011).
