Kings Leopold II was the second king of Belgium from 1856-1909. He took control of the Congo free state in 1885 for his own personal use. I think that King Leopold is responsible for the death and enslavement of thousands of Congolese people because he was funding the actions taken by people like Henry M Stanley. He might not have been there personally but he was still funding the horrible things happening so he is still responsible. for example he paid off journalists to write about him in a way that makes him seam like a humanitarian while he was actively funding a genocide for his own personal profit.

"You paid for all of the weapons used to terrorize the Congolese.  Your wealth and power was used to enslave the people of Congo to work with you."

"You paid off journalists like Mary French Sheldon to write newspaper articles about you as a philanthropist who was interested in the economic development of Congo."

"The power you abused resulted in the death of approximately 10 million human beings."

This supports my claim that King Leopold is responsible because it shows how he may not have been there doing all of these bad things but he still paid for them to happen. also he was directly profiting off of this because he owned the Congo on his own

This supports my claim because king Leopold made everyone believe that he was a humanitarian and a good person when he was actually committing horrible crimes.

This piece of evidence supports how he is responsible because he abused his power to take control of the people for profit and personal gain.
