King Leopold is the one accountable for the death of 10 million Congolese people. Even though he truly never stepped foot in the Congo however he carried out evil plans and had people do his dirty work for him. He exploited the resources of The Congo, he enslaved thousands of Congolese people, created a brutal system, faked being a humanitarian while secretly gaining wealth from the Congo's resources. He killed millions just for more power and wealth. He was a truly evil man because of even after he got exposed and new his rule and brutal plans were over, he sold the Congo to the Belgian government who he knew would try and still carry out his evil plans. He was truly one of the most evilest man ever. He also created the force Publique which carried out most of his evil orders. Therefore since Leopold created the brutal exploitation and made the Force Publiqe he used great atrocious and made the Force Publiqe who they are which made the Force Publiqe that made them do horrible things. The Force Publiqe would cut of hands of ones they killed, when they didn't kill a person they would still then cut off a hand of a live innocent person. King Leopold was truly evil.

In this quote it literally states that he is ultimately responsible for the deaths. He wasn't even doing this for Belgian, he only cared about himself and claiming more wealth and power. He would steal land,resources,and lives of million innocent lives. He forced millions of Congolese people to harvest rubber in the most brutal conditions, he would have the Force Publiqe hold their families captive to make the workers work harder and collect more rubber.

Henry M Stanley was an explorer who did an expedition all through the Congo. King Leopold knew about him and how he was familiar with the Congo and would do bad stuff and wouldn't feel bad. King Leopold funded for the development of the railroad, steamships, and trading stations. Which may seem nice but in reality this provided support and infrastructure and technology he needed to control and also paid for all of the weapons used to terrorize the Congolese people that lead to mass deaths.

This evidence shows that King Leopold || is responsible because even after he knew he was done for and wouldn't be able to finish his plans, he sold it to the Belgian government who he knew would finish his plans. Therefore even after Leopold rain of terror was over, it started up again with the Belgian government brutally seizing the African land. Then they even tried to cover it up or the most brutal cases at most. This helped King Leopold's case for they were erased. King Leopold was a evil genius who used his power for bad.
