@MEUGA really? Did you know Europeans, even on the smallest estimations, enslaved more africans than the muslims? They would be comparable if it stopped there, but it doesn't. Wars, subjugation of the african culture, mass genocides, fucked up borders that lead african countries to neverending wars and civil wars TO THIS DAY, etc. They both did messed up things, I agree with that, and I'm by no means defending what the muslims did, but trying to compare the damage both parties have done to the continent is just a joke.

You are 100% correct Sir. Most people are ill informed when descrbing a desert. They think of sand. As we both know a desert is an area of deserted wasteland for want of a better word for example. Wether that is sand, snow & ice or stone. Antarctica is by FAR the World's largest desert as Australia is by far the World's largest island but people don't acknowledge this calling it a country/continent even though it is all 3 + a large chunk of it desert too :-D. Ah well. We must keep our chins up lol. Like how they got the British flag wrong at 6:08. We stopped using that design in 1801 when Ireland became part of the UK. Oooppps ;-).

If you would do actual research on the subject you'd find that most atrocities were committed by Congo natives and not by Belgians who actually put an end to them. The video doesn't mention this for whatever reason, just as it doesn't mention that the African slaves taken to the Americas were *purchased* from West African kingdoms, and not enslaved by the European-Americans merchants. They were enslaved by other Africans and sold indiscriminately to any slave merchants, European or not.

@@decem_sagittae If the trade didn't exist the slaves wouldn't have been enslaved so it's still due to that. Edit: The atrocities such as amputation of arms were conducted when rubber harvest quotas weren't met. The Belgian government did put a stop to it but by then millions of Congolese had died. I don't know why so many revisionists on KZread try to shift blame to Africans for issues caused by their ancestors. It's shocking and has an air of nationalism and supremacy to it.

@@atomisedman6235 Are you claiming that the Africans did not practice slavery or had a slave trade of their own before European contact? Next you're gonna say that Muslims didn't practice slavery either (which they did until the 20th century). The atrocities were almost exclusively committed by native Congolese working for the Belgian administration who abused their power and many of them chopped off hands of entire villages to get promoted. Until the Belgian authorities figured out what was happening and put an end to it. Throwing buzzwords around won't help your cause when you're the one who obfuscates facts to fit your biased ideological views and narrative. I for one am not that petty and don't care for politics.

There was also the time when there was interest in searching for the source of the Nile. This included exploration by John Hanning Speke and Ricard Burton. Need to also mention that Speke was the first European to see Lake Victoria and claimed it as the source of the Nile. This was later confirmed by Henry Morton Stanley. There is also Portuguese influence on the East Coast of Africa . There was also slavery involved on the East Coast of Africa and that the Island of Zanzibar was used as port for this as well as trading for products related to Spices, such as cloves. Speke and Burton, as well as Stanley used Zanzibar to get to inland Africa for their expeditions into the mainland. Also there were Indians there long before the Europeans arrived. The Indians were there for the purpose of trading alongside the Arabs (on the East Coast. In fact one Indian man actually guided the famous Portuguese explorer, Vasco De Gama to India.

How to colonize a territory: - Eng, Fr, Neth, Bel: Erase the locals or confine them to reserves, repopulate with your own people, build factories and plantations, get some slaves to work in them, enrich the whites through trade and exploitation of resources, turn it into a puppet/failed state, never totally leave. - Rome, Greece, Spain: Conquer the land by war and agreements, alphabetize and convert the locals, make them your own citizens, build universities, temples and cities, enrich the whites and the locals through trade and exploitation of resources, get looted by your enemies, collapse. - Portugal: Lets do both!
