Did king leopard II of belgium have a good relationship with the africans?
King Leopold II of Belgium did not have a good relationship with the Africans. His rule in the Congo Free State, which lasted from 1885 to 1908, was marked by extreme brutality and exploitation. Millions of Congolese people were killed, mutilated, or enslaved during this time. King Leopold II's actions sparked international outrage and led to the eventual transfer of the Congo Free State to Belgian government control in 1908.
