History

Colt1911 [192]1 year ago
4 0

Leopold committed to ending the east African slave trade, promoting humanitarian policies, ensuring free commerce inside the colony, and eliminating import tariffs for 20 years.

This is further explained below.

<h3>Who is  Leopold II?</h3>

Generally, Between the years 1865 and 1909, Leopold II reigned as the second King of Belgium. He was also the self-proclaimed authoritarian ruler of the Congo Free State between the years 1885 and 1908.

On February 5, 1885, Belgian King Leopold II formed the Congo Free State by forcibly appropriating the African continent as his personal own. This act marked the beginning of the Belgian colonial era in the Congo.

Leopold did not establish a colony in the Congo as many other European nations did elsewhere in Africa; rather, he personally owned and controlled the territory.

In conclusion, Leopold made a commitment to end the slave trade in East Africa, support humanitarian causes, ensure free commerce inside the colony, not impose any import charges for twenty years, and promote charitable and scientific endeavors.

Which term applies to the percentage of eligible people who vote?
Alisiya [41]
The correct term is voter turnout.

Voter turnout represents a percentage of how many eligible voters came out and participated in a recent election. Demographics refers to breaking down individuals who voted in elections based on different factors like race. The other two terms are somewhat unrelated to voting.

Cracking down on dissent during World War I was part of what larger governmental goal in the United States?seizing absolute powe
madam [21]

The larger goal was uniting Americans around the war effort.

Cracking down on dissent would be a negative action in support of the larger, positive goal the government sought. The government wanted a fully united public in support of the war, and so it put out the message that that freedom of speech might have its limits in times of war.
