Answer:

  It was the personal property of King Leopold II. The constitutional monarch of Belgium.

Explanation:

  The king seizes the territories by convincing the European and Asian countries in the Berlin Conference that he was involved in humanitarian and philanthropic work. The State operated as a corporate private state run by Leopold II. The reign earned infamy because of the atrocities perpetrated on the locals.

  By the year 1908, the Belgium Parliament established the replacement of the Congo Free State (the name given by Leopold II) and renamed it as the Belgium Congo. Belgium took a paternalist attitude towards the citizens and treat them as if they were children. But the Africans had no role in legislation.

  I hope this answer helps you.

Explain how militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism led to World War I. Be sure to include what each term means and
emmasim [6.3K]

militarism: Commiting to military

alliances: Friends of countries that help in wartime

imperialism: Desire to colonize, for glory, riches, or global domination

nationalism: Believing in your country's greatness

Japanese Imperialism led to colonizing parts of china, since it was mad at western powers colonizing china and pushing it out (hypocrisy). Italy was a rising economy, but bitter of not getting a fair share of land. German nationalism was at a high as the emerging Nazi (nationalist socialist) party was overturning the inflation ridding weimar republic. The failing alliance of the League of nations was falling apart quickly. Soon Japan, Italy, and germany turned to Imperialism, Fascism, Nationalism, and militarism and the world would find itself in another world war.
