Genocide in the Belgian Congo (Part 4) - The Finale Episode How did Leopold's genocidal regime fall apart? How did researchers reach the 10 million estimate? Why was this covered up and how? I'll answer these questions and get into the final grisly details from the Belgian occupation of the Congo. We'll dig deep into the violent details and the ultimate unraveling of this genocidal regime. This is the last episode in our story about the genocide in the Belgian Congo. You can now find me on Patreon and chip in to get me a coffee so I can keep writing and researching episodes.
