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.

Explanation:

You didn't give the illustration, but according to the options, the only that fits is the last one -  It was used to encourage support for Hitler by promoting racism - because the others were impossible to be done during the Nazism dominance in Germany. I think that the idea behind the illustration was that Hitler was seen as a kind of savior, the German protector against races that were dangerous for any reason.
