Description
A bird's eye historical overview The kingdom of Belgium was only established as an independent state in 1830. The first Belgian king, Leopold I, had imperial ambitions. However, he did not succeed in realizing them. His son and successor, Leopold II, followed in his father's footsteps with even greater determination and tenacity. After a number of failed attempts to acquire a colony in the Far East, Leopold II shifted his focus to Africa. The organisation of an international geographical conference in 1876 in Brussels had to provide a cover for his imperialistic ambitions. The topics for discussion at the conference were: "[...] the suppression of the slave trade in Central Africa, the extension of scientific knowledge about the area, and the bringing of civilization to the peoples living there" (Foeken 1985: 19-20).1 The conference decided on setting up the International Africa Association, split up into a number of National Committees.
