Three factors fueled American Imperialism.

Under New Imperialism, Empires were established in Africa and Asia and there were political and social reforms in those colonies. Old Imperialism led to exploration of new trade routes, establishment of new settlements in new lands and ultimately led to establishment of Political rule in those lands.

The effects of imperialism on the Congo were the depletion of natural resources and the severe mistreatment of the residents.

On February 5, 1885, Belgian King Leopold II established the Congo Free State by brutally seizing the African landmass as his personal possession. Rather than control the Congo as a colony, as other European powers did throughout Africa, Leopold privately owned the region….

Before imperialism came to the Congo, it was a state of slave raids, unused natural resources, and Christianity. The Kongo and the Kuba were the largest political entities in the precolonial Congo area. [3] It is now believed to be more than 20,000 years old.

By the turn of the century, the violence used by Free State officials against indigenous Congolese and a ruthless system of economic exploitation led to intense diplomatic pressure on Belgium to take official control of the country, which it did by creating the Belgian Congo in 1908.
