The horrific atrocities that took place in the Congo Free State are often compared to the Holocaust, with king Leopold II of Belgium being compared to the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Between 1885 and 1908, Leopold II personally ruled the Congo, in sub Saharan Africa, which was largely unexplored at this time, as only the coastal areas had been claimed by other European countries. He named it the “Congo Free State,” which is rather ironic when you realise what went on there.
The local population was anything but free.
(1885-1908)

Between 1885 and 1908, the Belgian King Leopold II personally ruled the Congo Free State, which was also known as the Independent State of the Congo.
Because he ruled the state personally, he had total control of its resources and had to answer to no one.
