E21 - El Congo de Leopoldo II
Descripción del Episodio
Un rey europeo… dueño de un país entero como si fuera su propiedad privada.
En este episodio de “Cada día, una historia”, nos metemos en el Estado Libre del Congo, el territorio africano controlado personalmente por Leopoldo II de Bélgica a finales del siglo XIX.
¿Fue realmente una misión civilizadora… o uno de los sistemas más brutales de explotación en la historia?¿Cómo un rey logró convertir un país en su negocio personal?¿Y por qué el mundo tardó tanto en reaccionar?
Bajo el pretexto de progreso y comercio, millones de personas fueron sometidas a trabajos forzados para la extracción de caucho, en un sistema marcado por violencia extrema, mutilaciones y terror sistemático.
Pero lo más inquietante no es solo lo que pasó…es que durante años… fue ignorado.
Porque a veces, los peores crímenes de la historia…no se esconden.Se permiten.
