Democratic Republic of the Congo

Well, that's not justification to treat people badly. Anyways, there is no doubt that the Belgians were pretty cruel to the Congolese, it's well documented. They got fucked over by their own leaders as well. Most of the tribes in the rainforest would've probably just been better off not having been contacted by the outside world.

k but I never said it was justification.

We shouldn't treat dogs bad either just because they are lesser - I love dogs.

Yeah, I read about the Belgian led atrocities in the Congo a hundred years ago. Up to this day, that country is a mess. There's a ton of tribes in there who have no business being in the same country.

These are still the Europeans the wicked

Lies lies lies

Do you mean the king of the belgians and his british partners?


Nah, the demography has growth exponentially during the belgian rule. Belgians saved them from extinction.

From 1950 to 1958 the index of wage Congolese worker goes from 100 to 237 and only an increase of the cost of living of 20%. At the same time , the white settler, and the average frame congolese is more prosperous than the metropolis' belgians. At the end of World War, happened a high population growth : the population grew by 2% per year.

In 1959, the GDP per capita in Congo reach 90 US dollars / inhabitant , close to Greece and Portugal, equal to Canada

The problem was rather decolonization.

The 10 millions genocide is an afrocentrist hoax, everyone knows that the holy shoah is greatest disaster of all humanity.

British propaganda. They wanted the congolese natural ressources for themselves.
Who can trust the brits after the atrocities they've commited around the world?

They saved them from extinction by annihilating half their population? Interesting.

You should go on vacation there(preferably in the non-tourist areas and for a few weeks), Etain.

I mean, they're just human right? What could possibly go wrong?

DRC has the second largest extant rainforest after the Amazon. It is considered a megadiverse country in terms of flora and fauna.

What's your point? I didn't say Chinese people are angels, but the reality is, they (China ) wouldn't be able to get away with what the Belgians got away with in this day and age because of modern social media, cultural values, etc. People in this forum are so fucking dense.

Both the Belgians and the Brits committed atrocities in their colonies. They point fingers at each other for political gain. This has been going on forever since the dawn of history.
