Original Note:
The above assertation is false. Leopold II of Belgium's brutal 1885 - 1908 reign in the Congo Free State killed an estimated 5-10 million Congolese. The Nazi regime, however, killed over 17 million civilians and POWs from 1939 - 1945. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/documenting-numbers-of-victims-of-the-holocaust-and-nazi-persecution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_victims https://ajuntament.barcelona.cat/gabinetpostal/lestat-lliure-del-congo-un-genocidi-a-lombra/?lang=en#:~:text=Their%20working%20days%20were%20long,Leopold%20II%20and%20his%20functionaries.
