A proposito di questo titolo

In Episode 4 of The History of Belgium, Lucas and Luna turn to one of the most controversial figures in the Congo story: Henry Morton Stanley, the Welsh-American explorer who became Leopold II's right hand in Africa. They trace Stanley's early expeditions, his brutal construction of the Matadi-Kinshasa railway, and his role in enforcing Leopold's rubber regime. They examine Stanley's own writings — like his 1890 book In Darkest Africa — and how he framed colonialism as a civilizing mission while his methods sowed mass death. They also explore Stanley's legacy in Belgium, where his statue still stands in the Parc du Cinquantenaire, and in the Congo, where he is remembered as Bula Matari — the breaker of rocks. The episode grapples with how historians assess Stanley today, from his personal ambition to his role in the Congo Free State's atrocities.
