1 Belgium and the Congo, While the impact of a colonising metropole on subjected territories has been widely scrutinized, the effect of empire on the colonising country has long been neglected. Recently, many studies have examined the repercussions of their respective empires on colonial powers such as the United Kingdom and France. Belgium and its African empire have been conspicuously absent from this discussion. This book attempts to fill this gap. Belgium and the Congo, , examines the effects of colonialism on the domestic politics, diplomacy and economics of Belgium, from 1880 when King Leopold II began the country s expansionist enterprises in Africa to the 1980s, well after the Congo s independence in June of By examining the colonial impact on its mother country, Belgium, this study also contributes to a better understanding of the Congo s past and present. is professor of contemporary history at Free University Brussels (Vrjie Universiteit Brussel). Professor Vanthemsche is also secretary of the Royal Commission of History in Belgium. He is co-director of the Belgium-based journal Revue Belge de Philologie et d Histoire.
