History

19th century

The Berlin Conference of 1884-5 formalized many of the European colonial powers' claims in Africa. King Leopold II of Belgium was personally granted control oh a large, resource-rich piece of central Africa, the Congo River basin. Plunder from this provided a lot of wealth to the Belgian Court and court officials, centered on the Royal Family. The Belgian nobility has historically dominated the army and diplomatic service and continues to be influential to this day.
