La Mise en Valeur du Congo Belge (Étude de Géographie Coloniale)

Description: This book is a comprehensive examination of the Congo, the sprawling central African territory, and its colonial exploitation under King Leopold II of Belgium. The author traces the history of European exploration of the Congo, beginning with the Portuguese in the 15th century, and culminating in the Berlin Conference of 1884-85, which recognized the Congo Free State under Leopold's personal rule. The book also provides a wealth of information on the geography, people, and the cultural history of the area. The book is a major contribution to our understanding of the colonial period in Africa and its lasting impact on the region.
