The Congo Treaty (1884) by Thomas Tomlinson is a historical account of the international agreement that was signed in Berlin on February 26, 1885, known as the General Act of the Berlin Conference. The treaty was signed by European powers, including Great Britain, France, Germany, Portugal, and Spain, to regulate and partition the African continent among themselves.The book provides an in-depth analysis of the Congo Treaty and the events leading up to its signing, including the scramble for Africa, the role of King Leopold II of Belgium in the colonization of the Congo Basin, and the impact of the treaty on the African people and their land.Tomlinson explores the motivations behind the treaty and the interests of the European powers involved, highlighting the economic, political, and strategic factors that influenced their decisions. He also examines the reactions of African leaders and the impact of the treaty on their sovereignty and independence.The Congo Treaty (1884) is a comprehensive and well-researched book that sheds light on a crucial moment in the history of Africa and its relationship with the rest of the world. It is a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the politics and economics of colonialism and imperialism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
