Description

This Routledge history examines how British and American public opinion campaigns shaped colonial policy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. From 1896 onwards, concerned citizens mobilised to challenge King Leopold II's brutal rule of the Congo Free State, exposing widespread accusations of oppression and misrule that shocked international observers. The book explores the pivotal role of humanitarian activism in influencing government policy, revealing how reformers in Britain and the United States created diplomatic pressure to free the Congo from Leopold's personal control and establish meaningful reforms. A scholarly exploration of activism, imperialism, and the power of organised public sentiment during a transformative period of European colonial history.
