Question

Instead of helping the people of the Congo, according to the passage, what did King Leopold actually do? Give at least 3 examples of what he did and how he was able to accomplish these tasks.

Answer 1

Instead of helping the people of Congo, he spent "Millions on religion and art", spent "millions to keep the press of the two hemispheres quiet" and focused upon himself and his own image more than that of his people. He was able to achieve this because of his role as King, and the riches of Congo.
