King Leopold of Belgium created the International Congo Association as which of the following?

A corporation
A Belgian colony
A neutral zone
A wildlife preserve
A French territory

Explanation

Answer: A - Leopold created the International Congo Association as a corporation. Leopold wanted to expand Belgium without attracting the attention of the other European powers, so he claimed that it would be more neutral as a corporation. However, he monopolized the trade, spent Belgian tax dollars to develop it, and ensured that the revenue went into his personal coffers.
