People attacking Britain for our colonial past should definitely read that and remember this, the UK/GB/England transported an estimated 3.1 million slaves of whom about 400k died en route. In the Congo they estimate around 10 million died because of King Leopold's actions.
It doesn't suddenly mean this country is innocent obviously but it does show that there were worse than us (as a country) and another estimate is that in 290 years of Empire/colonialism about 1 million wrongly died because of GB/UK/England.
Belgium was still taking people from the Congo to be put on show as late as 1958, truly shocking. |  |

Leopold was amongst the biggest butchers in recent history,a man who literally raped a whole country of its wealth.
My sister s husband had parents who went to the Congo for Jesus and just about Escaped with their lives..
All colonialism bad but we were the “best”. | |
