| Résumé/Présentation |
"The essay deals with the relationships between Italy and the Congo Free State, a ?personally owned colony? of Leopold II of Belgium, in the years 1884-1908. / The Congo Free State was a unique case of a ?private? European colony at the end of the XIX century. Its origins are briefly summarised, together with the accusations which eventually, overwhelmed Leopold II, starting from the humanitarian campaign launched by the British journalist Edmund Dene Morel. The paper also examines the largely neglected role of Italian citizens and government in the 'Congo question?, The Congo State and its associated private companies engaged a significant number of civil and military officials of Italian origin. The essay deals particularly with a group of officers of the Italian army, sent to the Congo in 1903 for a three-years-term, within an agreement with the Italian government which also foresaw the settlement of Italian colonists in the interior of the country. Leopold II organised an intense propaganda campaign in Italy with the aim of obtaining a favourable outcome to the agreement. In the meantime, the Italian government displayed a relatively neutral attitude, concerned as it was mainly with pursuing a policy of Italian ?presence? in Central Africa." (Academia, 03.2018)
