This week we're back to talking King Leopold II of Brussels, the king of Brussels who thought he deserved the Congo by any means necessary, and tried to convince the world he was taking over for altruistic reasons and now absolute greed.
This week we discuss how the rubber trade escalated the brutality and Danny tries to keep it light with interspersed fun facts! And we start talking about some of the Europeans who finally try to stop the cruelty.
