The study represents the system of corvée and rubber terror exercised by Belgian King Leopold II in the Independent State of the Congo (the territory of today's Democratic Republic of the Congo, known as Zaire) during the period from 1885 to 1908, The aim was to develop the export process and the exploitation of rubber, however, the harvesting of this product was carried out with violence, Thus, local workers were recruited and forced into slavery to collect the necessary quantities of rubber, which was then delivered to the hands and whims of the officers of the independent state of Congo, on pain of severe penalties such as amputation of the hands and the body. Adopting a policy of monopoly over this trade, he enacted several laws making Congo an agricultural exploitation for the benefit of the crown and the personal property of the king. From 1892, he implemented a system of corvée on the population, later known as the "rubber terror", a system of exploitation that left millions dead and maimed at the turn of the 20th century.
