Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the history of the Congo, encompassing its human inhabitants, geography, economy, and humanitarian efforts. Originally colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and then exploited for its slave trade, the Congo was finally established as the Congo Free State under the rule of King Leopold II of Belgium. The book details the many expeditions and explorations that opened up the vast Congo Basin, revealing its wealth of natural resources and diverse cultures. The author highlights the challenges and successes of establishing a colonial administration, as well as the efforts to suppress the slave trade and promote humanitarian ideals. Ultimately, the book underscores the importance of understanding the complex history of the Congo to appreciate its present-day realities and potential for the future.
