Gather, my dears, as we unravel the dark reign of Leopold II, a tyrant whose shadows stretched across continents.
Once upon a time, there was a king whose thirst for power and riches knew no bounds. Leopold II of Belgium, a regal figure with a heart as cold as the diamond mines he so coveted. In the heart of Africa, this monarch wove a tapestry of terror, exploiting lands and lives for his grand imperial vision. The Congo, once vibrant and teeming with life, became a brutal playground for his greedy ambitions. The wickedness that unfurled under his rule paints a grim portrait in the annals of history, stained with untold blood.
The Crown Prince of Misery, Leopold's legacy is a chilling reminder of the evils that dance in the hearts of men when unchecked. His crimes, once hidden in the shadows, have emerged into the light, revealing a bitter truth: that empires built on blood will eventually crack and crumble.
