Description

Explore the historical struggle for justice in the Congo Free State with this detailed study by Routledge. Between 1885 and 1908, the region was under the personal rule of King Leopold II of the Belgians. While the founding of the state initially received accolades, these were quickly met with accusations of oppression, brutality, and murderous misrule. This book examines the period starting in 1896, when dedicated men and women began using public opinion to change government policies in Britain and the United States. By creating space for reforming forces within Belgium, these activists worked to remove the Congo from Leopold's control and implement necessary reforms. This work provides a deep look at the factors that led to both the successes and failures of this humanitarian movement. It is an essential read for students and historians interested in the history of Great Britain, international relations, and the origins of modern human rights advocacy.
