King Leopold II's administration of the Congo Free State is widely considered one of the most brutal and immoral regimes in history, and is used as the archetypal example of exploitative European colonialism. In this video I examine the truth of the accusations made against Leopold's administration, including charges of mass killings, mutilations and other atrocities, and genocide. The book King Leopold's Ghost by Adam Hochschild is given particular attention, as it is the most popular and well known book on the subject. Additionally, this video delves into the often overlooked context of the original Congo Reform Movement, in particular the British business interests which funded agitation and accusations against King Leopold II.
