What small european nation brutally controlled the congo in the 1800s?           a. the netherlands   b. france   c. britain   d. belgium        

The correct answer is D. Belgium 

Congo was given to Belgium as a colony and it was treated like the King's personal playground. This led to many monstrosities committed because anyone who opposed King Leopold would get instantly executed or severely punished. 

A, netherlands. As king leopold was to blame for the deaths of all the people in the congo.

If that helps make sure to mark as brainliest!

In my honest opinion , i’d say franklin d roosevelt was a president that impacted our nation , i say this because fdr is voted among top three best us presidents and he was the longest serving president by 3 terms , usually presidents only supposed to have two terms increments of 4 years , equivalent to 8 years total before election time. and he established the fdic , through the 1933 banking act and he established the us , social security system , during his presidency, and established a national minimum wage , through the fair labor standards act , fdr led the allied coalition to victory in wwii and he played a major role in the creation of the united nations.
