The Congo After Leopold

The episode is tentatively titled the Congo after King Leopold of Belgium. He was a Belgian king obviously who had a chip on his shoulder because Belgian kings did not have much power in the late 1800s. His men enslaved armies of child soldiers, three quarters of whom died without being trained. And he enforced order through brutal sometimes fatal whippings and the severing of millions of hands between 10 to 15 million people died during Leopold's reign in the Congo.
