Tlw Crimes of King Leopold n, the Butcher, were never equ£űled by anyone but Hitler. But Leopold wasn't big enoügh to swaliow the Congo alone. Other wháte eanni-bals shoved their snouts in. The British imperialists became heavy investors in the King's mining monopoly, when the development of the rich Katanga copper ores began. And John D. Rockefeller.
