The Congo Free State propaganda war was a worldwide media propaganda campaign waged by both King Leopold II of Belgium and the critics of the Congo Free State. Leopold was very astute in using the media to support his virtual private control of the Congo. British campaigner Edmund Dene Morel successfully campaigned against Leopold and focused public attention on the violence of Leopold's rule. Morel used newspaper accounts, pamphlets, and books to publish evidence from reports, eye-witness testimony, and pictures from missionaries and others involved directly in the Congo. As Morel gained high-profile supporters, the publicity generated by his campaign eventually forced Leopold to relinquish control of the Congo to the Belgian government.
King Leopold II of Belgium was a figure called Satan.😨
It is even more shocking that a Belgian who was a Catholic committed such a demonic act.
Hahaha,are you surprised?
I was a little surprised that my good brother @ezeemmanuel wrote such an article.
However, there were many more shocking things than that!
