Original Note:
The claim of 13M Congolese killed is not based on any scientific or historical data & has been debunked as false & impossible by several historians. Similarly Hochschild's book making this and other claims about Congo free state has been demonstrated as sensational & false. https://www.theamericanconservative.com/king-hochschilds-hoax/ https://mises.org/mises-wire/belgian-colonialism-congo-facts-and-fiction
