Рет қаралды 2,169,001
4 жыл бұрынBetween 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.

King Leopold II ruled over the Congo personally and had his own private army to exploit the villagers to gather the rubber resources. This inspired Joseph Conrad’s novel Heart of Darkness which would provide the inspiration for Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 film Apocalypse Now.

"Remember Belgium" was the slogan with propelled The British Empire and later The Commonwealth into a global *war* against The German Empire in WWI (do to "The Rape of Belgium" of course). Even through Poland (and other East European Contries) suffered way worse doing WWII (look up Lebensraum), is there no doubt Belgien still suffered greatly. Many people was in particular sympathetic towards The Belgiens because such a small and innocent would be caught in the crossfire again. This comment makes fun of the "innocent" part, because that is of course just a matter of perspective and different focus on different historical events. Hope it helps :D

I had heard of the ‘Scramble for Africa’s but this awful episode is new to me. The more I learn of history, the more I feel that the worst thing a human can do is hold a view of other humans or groups of humans as inferior. That noxious idea allows or enables so much suffering to occur, because it allows a person to dehumanise and devalue others. The white supremacism at the heart of colonialism of European powers is an uncomfortable truth for me, the descendant of Dutch and British heritage.

Sadly, the story of native people greedily and cruelly ganging up with foreign imperials on their neighbors is not that unique. From what I've read, before relations between the two went permanently sour, the Powhatan tribe in Virginia and the English settlers actually ganged up on the neighboring Monacan tribe and then split up the land after routing them. The two tribes had been historical rivals, and the Powhatan apparently saw a chance to get what they wanted.

Read books of a Congolese jurist from Lubumbashi, Marcel YABILI. He was 15 years old at independence and he has thus known the last years of Belgian presence. Unlike many foreign authors, it takes into account the oral tradition, still very important in DRC. He quotes LUMUMBA himself about Léopold II. Mr YABILI talks about the origins of severed hands. Volume 1 is available in English but the others two are available in French.

But it's not all - most of Kashubian Intelligence, including students, teachers, polliticans, even foresters, have been killed in Piaśnica Forests (now it's called ,,Piaśnica's crimes), and in one day, 12.000 people have been killed (not on the entire operation - it was *one day* of this massacre). Also in Cracow, Lvov, and many different places - Germans wanted to kill a memory about our country, to make sure no future Polish generations will fight for it's independence. On the Eastern part, Soviets were doing the exact same thing, mostly to our officers.

On the other hand, the entirety of the Korean penensuila was annexed for half a century and the culture destroyed ontop of brutalization. Then the de-stabalization and the power vaccum the Japanese empire created after their occupation split the country in two like some spoils of war and started a war that killed 10% of the population. If you look at it statistically/practically, Koreans do take the cake for suffering worse throughout the 20th century.

Why does Islam attract more converts than any other religion? One major reason is that vIslam says: "refugees welcome" to those fleeing failing liberal social and religious institutions. Let me explain. Liberal secularists promote the idea that their norms for regulating marriage, family, and religion are ideal. Nevertheless, statistical data indicates that wherever a society is governed by liberal secular norms, people stop marrying, having children, and practising religion. Put differently, the liberal is fundamentally a hypocrite - despite what he or she might say, no liberal person is actually interested in being part of a liberal marriage, a liberal family, or a liberal religion. Matters are different when it comes to Islam. Muslims also promote the idea that their norms for regulating marriage, family, and religion are ideal. Moreover, statistical data indicates that wherever a society is governed by Islamic norms, it boosts marriage, birth rate, and religious practice. Put differently, the Muslim is actually interested in being part of a Muslim marriage, a Muslim family, and the Muslim religion. The current era is an era of refugees fleeing from liberalism. Liberal marriage, family, and religion have collapsed. As a result, refugees from liberal societies seek marriage partners abroad, and if they practice any type of religion , it is a non-liberal version whose centers are located abroad. Islam is the most obvious choice for them.

The best way to expand is not ruling through force but ruling through investment. Autonomy, industry and jobs. Give a country the tools to build itself up and both cultures reap the rewards of autonomy, traditions and a better life. However, unfortunately the seeds of corruption in this are bound to occur. Better to build up a potential ally with mutual exchange of trade and military alliance, than police with exhausting resources and local resentment.
