Answer:

1) Although Leopold II established Belgium as a colonial power in Africa, he is best known for the widespread atrocities that were carried out under his rule, as a result of which as many as 10 million people died in the Congo Free State.

2) Basically he was a wannabe autocrat ruler (like his daddy) stuck in a parliamentary monarchy who found an escape playing king over a huge chunk of central Africa and sought to make a buck of it through the rubber trade. To achieve break even in operation costs he had to let go of the original fairly altruistic approach and let the companies more or less do what they wanted to bring in the money needed and more. The profits made he mostly spent on giving his nation beautiful buildings and the attempt to model its major cities on Paris of Georges-Eugène Haussmann - Wikipedia and Napoleon III .

What are the symbols used in the cartoon "close the gate" by orr in the chicago tribune
Natalija [7]
The "Close the Gate" political cartoon was created during 1919. This was the era of the Red Scare, where Americans feared the Soviet Union and communism infiltrating American society. With this in mind, you can better understand the cartoon.

If you look, on the suitcase there is says "undesirables." This shows how the author sees the immigrants coming in as a detriment to society. 

On the gate, it says "Immigration restrictions." If this gate is closed, it will effectively limit who is coming into the United States. These restrictions will help to ensure that foreigners won't spread their ideas/bad influences into American society.

Lastly, his head is shown as a bomb with a fuse light. This is symbolic, as it is saying that it is only a matter of time before this person does something bad.
