Congo Free State propaganda war

The Congo Free State propaganda war was a worldwide media propaganda campaign waged by both King Leopold II of Belgium and the critics of the Congo Free State. Leopold was very astute in using the media to support his virtual private control of the nation. Edmund Dene Morel, successfully campaigned against Leopold and created a public focus upon the violence of Leopold's rule. Morel used the mass media of that time, starting with newspapers and pamphlets and proceeding to books that included evidence from reports, eye-witness testimony, and pictures obtained from missionaries and others involved directly in the Congo. As Morel gained high-profile supporters, the publicity generated by his campaign eventually forced Leopold to relinquish control of the Congo.
== Background ==
The Congo Free State propaganda war (1884–1912) occurred at the height of European Imperialism. Demand for goods remained the driving force behind European imperialism, and (with the important exception of British East India Company rule in India), the European stake in Asia remained confined largely to trading stations and strategic outposts necessary to protect trade. Industrialization, however, dramatically increased European demand for raw materials, which became scarce. The severe Long Depression of the 1870s provoked a scramble for new markets for European industrial products and financial services. European nations looked to exploit the natural resources of Africa and develop new markets there.
