This week we return to the Congo River Basin of the late 19th Century to discuss the establishment of the Congo Free State by Leopold II, King of the Belgians. Part one of this series, episode 118 of Left Unread, laid the groundwork for Leopold's machinations, and this week we start to see his plans take shape as a swathe of brutal violence engulfs the Congo region, and European profits begin to soar. Content Warning: This episode contains frank discussion of pretty brutal violence, racism, and colonialism.
