Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Belgium–Congo relations refers to relations between Belgium and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The relationship started with the exploration of the Congo river by Henry Morton Stanley.Following Stanley's expedition to the Congo, King Leopold II initially ruled Congo as his personal property following the Berlin Conference. On 18 October, 1908, the Belgian parliament voted to annex Congo on 15 November, 1908, Leopold formally relinquished personal control over the state to Belgium, forming the Congo Free State. During Belgian rule, Congo was reputed to have been brutalised by a harsh economic policy that entailed rubber production quotas to be met by forced labour. Other crops were also farmed in the Congo.
