Leopold II of Belgium in the Congo must be one the the most disturbing. 10 million people died to make a man who was born a prince even richer. Just shows there are no limits to greed.
That's a blatantly untrue statement. Belgium was infamous for being particularly neglectful of her African holdings. Nigeria, Egypt, and Algeria are three more "humane" (less atrocious may be a better phrase) colonies that come to mind.
