The Congo State

This 1898 publication documents the controversial colonial history of the Congo Free State during the reign of King Leopold II.

Zusammenfassung
First published in 1898, this book records the early history of Belgian colonial activity in the Congo when the territory was under the private control of King Leopold II (18351909). While Leopold's rule is notoriously controversial, Boulger's work displays the patriotic colonial fervour of its time.
