Between the years 1885 and 1908, the Belgian monarchy headed by King Leopold II, first cousin of Great Britain’s Queen Victoria, undertook colonial rule in a region shaped by the river Congo and part of an ancient tribal kingdom. Financial gain provided the impetus for the Belgians, as it had been for the British, Dutch, Portuguese, ...

African resistance to colonial powers has an extensive history that dates before the nineteenth century. The responses to colonial rule varied by location, religion, and resources that included both violent and nonviolent tactics.

Nonetheless, foreign colonial powers were successful in recruiting tribes to assist in conquering other tribes who were in conflict. ...

By coercing nations into specific actions – or, for that matter, intimidating nations to backtrack from specific actions – coercive powers (state actors, non-state actors or ...
