Is Belgium low-key the worst country in the history of the world?

Fuck off leftcuck.

The guy was just bored. Guy just wanted to practice statecraft.

Well, it is certainly pretty impressive to outdone Stalin and Mao in deadlines even if you lack in a scale.

Not an argument.

It wasn't really presented as one tbqf.

How did they do it?

What is your number?

Who gives a shit about a bunch of cannibal headhunters.

Now the mongol invasions, THAT was brutality, and they destroyed civilized peoples. But that's a-ok according to the resident lefty/his/

Who in Africa out-did Pol Pot?

Yanks out

You can hate on more than one thing.

Can you imagine losing 40% population in 3 years?

The first in XX century, I mean.

Should've known it was the eternal Kraut.

This is more than 2xParaguys.

Aztecs knew that feel

Who cares about Mongols, it isn't like they killed *that* many peoples.

But they were le tolerant of religions XDD

Congo is still better off today than pre colonization

>Second Congo War
>OP is talking about the foundation of the Congo in 1960

Yuros out

Remember that one time when entire human population was reduced to 40 breeding pairs?

I believe some people say that the Belgians created an ethnic divide between Hutu and Tutsi people's through their colonisation of Rwanda and Burundi. The legacy left by this divide was embedded in the Rwandan genocide

If you're talking about Lumumba you better not be American, 'cause the CIA did that shit.

Belgian pilots flew the hit team into the country and a Belgian commanded the firing squad. The CIA and the French were definitely involved, but so was Belgium.

>8000 is a genocide

Fucking Bosniaks

>In an increasingly volatile mood, he demanded that the UN force be used to expel Belgian troops. After meeting him in Leopoldville on 16 July, the head of the UN operation in the Congo, Ralph Bunche, an African-American awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his United Nations work, reported that 'Lumumba was crazy and that he reacted like a child'. The following day, Lumumba issued an ultimatum threatening that if the UN did not remove all Belgian troops from the Congo by midnight on 19 July, then he would invite the Soviet Union to intervene

What did he mean by this?

How many people died is irrelevant in determining if something is a genocide or not

Why couldn't we go extinct

Must be shameful to have the major city called "Leopoldville". It's like if Israel's capital was "Hitlerston".

I realize it's Kinshasa today, I'm just saying.

This graph is totally bullshit.

It should at least show which country was the perpetrator of those deaths. The Soviet deaths should be attributed to Germany and the North Korean deaths to the USA, and it should be at least 20% in 2 years (as admitted by Air Force General Curtis LeMay).

Where the fuck is India during the British colonial period and Indonesia under the US backed Suharto?

If by "Created" you mean "the Belgian government took an existing ethnic divide, gave one side the means to do what they'd always wanted to do, and had to step away and as such weren't capable of stopping what would come about", then yes, I guess you could say that. Although it might just be better if you said the Belgian government took an existing ethnic divide, gave one side the means to do what they'd always wanted to do, and had to step away and as such weren't capable of stopping what would come about"
