<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panzerman, post: 8094062, member: 77704&quot;]I remember in school we took history lessons on the colonization of the African continent. However, there was not a peep about what really happened in the Belgian Congo. It was just like when the US had Stalin as an ally/ the Ukraine Genocide/ Purges where never brought up. Belgium was on the Allied side/ so it was hidden.</p><p>I had never heard about Leopold&#039;s crimes, until I watched that recent &quot;Tarzan&quot; movie. Hollywood however showed a &quot;sanitized&quot; version of actual events. What happened in the &quot;Congo Free State&quot; from 1885-1908 was akin to the USSRs GULAG system 1921-53. Of course, Stalin/ Mao where 10 times worst then Leopold II.</p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
