<span>The direct rule is known to
be the most brutal type of imperialism – where a certain country is being ruled
by foreign officials – therefore making it a colony. There is no self-rule for
natives in here, and this is all for the sake of turning a large colony into a
powerful empire. One notable brutality of direct rule in all of history
happened when Belgian King Leopold II ruled the Belgian Congo. There were
10,000,000 locals that were killed during his tenure as a ruler. Other countries
that practiced this method were France, Morocco and Vietnam.</span>
