Explanation:

The Congo Free State was a large state in Central Africa from 1885 to 1908, which was in personal union with the Kingdom of Belgium under Leopold II. Leopold II was able to procure the region by convincing the international community that he was involved in humanitarian and philanthropic work and would not tax trade.Via the Association Internationale Africaine he was able to lay claim to most of the Congo basin. 


On May 29, 1885, the king named his new colony the Congo Free State. The Congo Free State operated as a corporate state privately controlled by Leopold II through a Non-governmental organization, the International Association of the Congo.

The state included the entire area of the present Democratic Republic of the Congo and existed from 1885 to 1908, when the government of Belgium reluctantly annexed the area.
