Genocide in the Belgian Congo (Part 3) - Atrocities of the Ivory Boom
What happened to our whistleblower from Part 2? How did Leopold II create the machine for murder of genocidal proportions in the Belgian Congo? I'll answer these questions and get into some of the first gritty details from the Belgian occupation of the Congo. We'll talk about gender based violence, violence against children as well as the first details of Belgian mass killings.
