King Leopold takes the Congo!

Guys today in 1885, King Leopold II of Belgium established the Congo as a personal possession..:|.

 Now you might wonder what was the big deal in it.. That was the people used to be  invaded by different Kings and were ruled. In 1885 Even India was under the rule of the British. then What? Well Congo at the time was a dangerous place to invade forget about living. Only few Europeans ventured into the Congo..:O..  Mosquito -infested swamps and rainforests with the threat of malaria. Saala ye macharo ki shuruvat yahan se hi hui lagta hein...:/ :O :D and not only this the once invading this place gave them sleeping sickness..!! But this all was before 1976. It was then Leopold formed an African Association to explore and colonize Congo. After Explorer Henry Morton Stanley journeyed Congo, Leopold was sure that his country wealth and prestige. 

 Rest what happened was a bad history..!! Leopold was opposed by his natives so he made his own dummy non-Government organization, The Association Internationale Africinea of which Leopold was lone share holder and chairman to control the free state of Congo. Here he FORCED Exploited rubber,copper and other minerals from upper Lualaba River basin. The wealth was channeled into his own pursue as well as that of his native. 

 He Brutally abused and exploited the people and the natural resources there. And it is also called  

"One of the worst manmade Humanitarian disasters of the turn of the 20th Century"

 

Shameful how humanity is always kept at stake for profit and hmm... And we say now people are more brutal.. Its from the beginning where there is profit we always keep everything at stake. :(.. Hopefully you'll understand by this post that bad deeds might give you profit but not name and respect. If Leopold had used his same energy in saving them from all those brutal diseases we might have had no mosquitos..:P :D.. Chill and have fun.. :)
