Write a paragraph that summarizes the excerpt you read from king leopold’s ghost. be sure to tell why the belgian king colonized the congo.

The correct answer is the following.

King Leopold II of Belgium owned this portion of the Congo’s territory, close to the Congo River. He killed thousands of people and took away the territory natural resources to his benefit. King Leopold II enslaved people from Africa and made work in the mines to extract the rubber.  

Historian Adam Hochschild documented these atrocities in his 1998 book “King Leopold’s Ghost”.

Congo gain natural resources from Belgium and wealth for himself.

Hope this helped
