History
1 answer:
Nimfa-mama [501]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The extraction of rubber from Central Africa by Belgium stole any wealth that could have been generated in the Congo for the Congolese population. Colonial rule during 1885-1908 stunted Congolese economic development, destroyed social trust, and prevented the creation of political institutions.Belgium was the obvious European candidate to run the Congo. For two years, it debated the question and held new elections on the issue. Yielding to international pressure, the parliament of Belgium annexed the Congo Free State and took over its administration on November 15, 1908, as the colony of the Belgian Congo.

How did Eastern European ethnic and religious groups contribute to American culture in the 1800s?
kobusy [5.1K]
The Dutch East India Company sent Henry Hudson to explore the area where New York City is now in the years 1609. There formed a colony named New Holland and its capital was New Amsterdam. The Puritan religion came with the Quakers and Amish, who settled along the Delaware River; also the Baptists and Mennonites came from Eastern Europe. The new Pennsylvania town grew rapidly with the German farmers of the Rin River region and with the Irish-Scots who later arrived. Thus, religion had the influence of the Puritans, who brought with them the value of work, simple life, far from the sin of old Europe, and with their customs, folklore, legends and even music, like polyphonic religious music.
