In chapter 1 King Leopold has hired stanley morton to continue with his humanitarian work, but to also sign treaties witht the people of the congo. Overall he came to rule the Congo and when it ended up becoming an independent country King Leopold had full control of the country. I found this to be kinda slow at start, but it kinda got interesting as you saw King Leopold gain more and more control of the Congo.
Two questions I have are
-What is King Leopolds Motive besides natural resources in the Congo
-How will King Leopold fend off the European powers who want parts of Africa
