    Having a statue of Leopold II of Belgium in Belgium is equivalent to having a statue of Hitler in Germany, Mussolini in Italy, or Pavelić in Croatia,or Mao in China, Pol Pot in Cambodia,Idi Amin in Uganda,Papa Doc in Haiti,Hussein in Iraq, Milošević in Serbia(im Serbian myself, doesn't matter),. Same shit.

      Whike i agree that leopold 2 was a selfish greedy bastard colonialist enslaver he isnt nearly as bad as hitler or shoudnt be viewed as that. He got the congo for himself and enslaved the population to hard labour, because he wanted to enrich himself. Practically it were companies that made the people there work and mutilate them, technically not leopold himself. Most if them died due to imported diseases and malnourishment. So u can see why it is ridiculous to comparz him to hitler.

      @@ILaunchNukes nope there are no reliable numbers for that, there was no data, nor was there ever a population count. This high number is pure propaganda. There some anglosaxob writers, who in my eyes are propagandist. They deduced that the around 10 million people died during the reing of leopold. They did that by comparing the population number from the begining of his reign to the number at the end. But again they never were reliable or official numbers so its most likeley. But even if u would take that number again. That number doesnt take in acount natural deaths, or deaths unrelated to reign of leopold. But a great mahjority of those deaths were due to the imported diseases that the people of the west took to the congolese people.

So, the Belgian parliament forcibly annexed the Congo Free State.

    He was nicknamed the "construction king" by the people because he built buildings in Belgium with money he stole from the Congo, and he mainly built them in Brussels, Ostend, and Antwerp. The problem is that most of the money was invested in building these buildings, and with the money extorted from the Congo, he went shopping in France and other countries with his wife Blanche. In particular, Blanche spent 3 million won on one shopping trip in France at the amount at the time. Francs were used for luxury. The current evaluation in Belgium is not bad. Belgians are not interested in terrible history.

Anything people need to about this man can be written on a plaque and put in a museum (stating the most notorious contribution of this man: the killing of 10 million+ Africans). This man doesn't need any "museum time" or people *paying for museum tickets to learn about him* (anything they need to know they can find online/in books)....In fact, major European countries that contributed to African/Caribbean countries' destruction need to start contributing a part of their GDP or recompensating these countries back to some level of stability.......My "two cents" or too many cents!!!
