Their ambivalence resulted in Leopold's establishing a colony himself.

To enforce his authority, Leopold relied upon a violent military squad.

Armed resistance occurred sporadically and localized until roughly the end of the Second World War. From the end of the Second World War until the late 1950s, the so-called "Pax belgica" prevailed. Until the end of colonial rule in 1960, passive forms of resistance and expressions of an anti-colonial sub-culture were manifold.

Not unlike other former colonial masters, Belgium continued to meddle and was blamed, along with the CIA, for the 1961 assassination of Patrice Lumumba, Congo's first democratically elected prime minister. Both Belgium and the US then supported the 32-year dictatorship of Mobutu Sese Seko, a pro-Western leader seen as a bulwark against communism. He robbed his people of an estimated $5bn and made corruption a political way of life.
Mobutu was finally overthrown in 1997, but then came a war that sucked in six neighboring countries and left at least 4 million dead, mainly from strife-driven hunger and disease.
