Leopold own the center of Africa he was apart of the Congo. But the story behind taking over is terrifying. He should plead guilty for his actions and crimes!

He not just mistreated the Congolese natives he also harm the animals but he also he make the natives work extra. In the text "At first, the high demand for ivory led to you slaughtering thousands of people and large animals.”

“The demand for rubber greatly increased. You knew that the supply of rubber was about to increase due to the growth of new rubber trees from other parts curves to shift to the right, decreasing profit so they gave more work to the natives.”

That's 2 evidence that support reason 1 to plead him guilty.

Reason 2 for His Guiltiness

He took people prisoners going back on his word. In the texts it says. "You commanded your men that “no male prisoners shall be taken.." "and to force the Congolese to work hard and fast. To get the men of the Congo to work in the dangerous rubber fields you also kidnapped the woman if they refused.”

Overworking them that you take off their hands because they refused to work or worse killed them and then take their right hand to show proof that you killed them. In the texts states that. "If the men in the Village wanted to see their wives and daughters again. They Would have to risk their lives finding rubber for you to sell. If people refused to work they would be killed, beaten or worse."
