Belgisch-Congo | modern imperialisme en dekolonisatie

A video about the Belgian Congo (1885-1960). The video focuses on the Berlin Conference, where Africa was divided among European countries, and the role of Belgian King Leopold II. The exploitation of the Congolese population on the rubber plantations is discussed, as well as Expo 58 and other factors that contributed to Congo's independence. Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Kasa-vubu play important roles in this. The speeches given by Belgian King Baudouin and Lumumba at the transfer of sovereignty on June 30, 1960, demonstrate the two parties' completely different perspectives on the decolonization process. The video concludes with Lumumba's arrest and assassination.
