Congo was colonized by King Leopold II after its annexation. Congo was first found by Henry Morton Stanley in1876. Because of its annexation, the country becomes a personal property of the King. Belgiun government was against the idea of having a colony. So, King Leopold II had used Stanley to conquer Congo

Leopold II established a colony in the Congo to gain natural resources for Belgium and wealth for himself. Under his reign, the Congolese people were terrorized with forced labor and harsh treatment. He wrongly justified his actions by saying that the people of the Congo were inferior, and deserved the treatment they received.
