Congo experienced devastating events during the rule of King Leopold II. King Leopold lived with the purpose of making Africa modern and civilized and hence became the sole ruler of Congo.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

After Leopold II took the responsibility to rule the entire Congo, the region faced devastating chain of events on a regular basis. His rule became an international scandal as more and more people heard about the way he ruled and did not support him. A large fraction of population was killed as punishments or the kind of harsh lifestyle that came with his rule. Even though he died a year after he was forced to give up his rule, a huge amount of loss was estimated in terms of land. the heritage of the region was also lost. The death toll estimated was also alarming. Extraction of natural resources was carried out from Congo to Belgium. A new nation was being created but abundant hardship.

Leopold was born in the year 1853. His father was Leopold I, a reigning Belgian monarch and his mother was the daughter of King Louis Philippe, Louise. He became the Duke of Brabant at the age of 9 as his elder brother and the heir to the throne had died a year before Leopold was born. He also became the sun-lieutenant in the army. By the time of his accession in 1865, he was lieutenant-general. Before that, he became a member of Belgium Senate in the year 1885. Later on in his life, Leopold went on to become the sole founder of Congo Free State.

Which of the following is NOT a contributor to Japan's economic success after World War II?
zheka24 [161]
The correct answer here would be D - Japanese workers at all levels have guaranteed lifetime employment. 

The reason why this is wrong and it didn't contribute to Japan's economic success following World War II was because they did invest a lot of its economy to technological innovations and there was a close cooperation between governmentand the private industry. Furthermore, there was a central bank promoting stability and preventing business takeovers. Having people that have a guaranted lifetime employment, however, can make people lazy and less motivated to work.
