Wind transports moisture and temperature from one area to another, therefore weather conditions change with the shift of wind direction. Feeling a gust of wind could signify a heavy thunderstorm approaching or another atmospheric turbulence.
This is a very interesting question!! I'm assuming this is from physics. The answer: Kelvin's weight would change between planet x and planet y, because weight is defined as the forcce exerted by gravity. IT's different from mass. Weight changes depending on where you are.
Leopold II himself never step foot in the Congo during the entire time he ruled over it.
If the rubber quota was not met, then the consequence was death. The Force Publique, who was Leopold's personal police force set in the Congo, was required to collect a right hand per successful kill. hands could've been collected by FP officers, or by the villagers themselves. Since bullets couldn't be wasted, hands were sometimes chopped off while the victim was still alive. Often times, when villages were expected to pay the different with hands, they'd attack other villages to gather hands.
At least 500 Chinese labourers were imported to work on railways in the Congo, but a majority of them either left or died.
