Power King
Was it when King Leopold II ruled over the congo a type of imperialism? Power of Fear?
Could you try to help me with this idea, that having a certain power over someone, such as them fearing you is an example of imperialism? Could you kinda related King Leopold to my idea of this with some examples?
An Imperialist Colonization.
A hundred years ago, the Congo was the privately owned colony of King Leopold II of Belgium. Joseph Conrad explores that regime’s rapacious lust for ivory in Heart of Darkness. Leopold went on to make an even larger fortune by turning much of the Congo’s adult male population into a slave labor force to gather wild rubber. His private army worked large numbers of men to death, raped and starved their wives (held hostage to make the men work), shot down 20 years of uprisings, and terrified hundreds of thousands of people into flight to avoid rubber slavery. Just as today, disease took the greatest toll, ravaging a traumatized, half-starving people, many of whom hid unsheltered in the rain forest. The birth rate dropped dramatically. Using official Belgian statistics, demographers estimate a loss of population of some 10 million during Leopold’s rule and its immediate aftermath.
‘Heart of Darkness’ by Joseph Conrad is a fictionalized history of this era. It describes Marlow, an Englishman, on a foreign assignment as a ferry-boat captain, employed by a Belgian trading company. Although the river is never specifically named, readers may assume it is the Congo River, in the Congo Free State, a private colony of King Leopold II. Marlow is employed to transport ivory downriver; however, his more pressing assignment is to return Kurtz, another ivory trader, to civilization in a cover up. Kurtz has a reputation throughout the region.
