Leopold's African Gulag was a different type of thing to much of the other imperialist ventures in Africa, in that it was created solely to raise money for him, with any kind of "civilising mission" being a total figleaf. That's not to say that other European countries' empires in Africa were created out of altruism (they weren't), but, unlike Leopold, the other imperialists didn't really get that much out of their new empires.ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09958839106380353855noreply@blogger.com
