Congo Annexation Treaty Passes Belgium Chamber
Belgium's chamber approves the Congo annexation treaty by 83 to 55, pledging Belgium to assume Congo debt and revenues. King Leopold's cabinet seeks senate amendments to reconcile the bill with the treaty while pledging reform such as ending forced labor and banning MPs from Congo concessions. The move ends long Congo abuses but leaves financial responsibilities and future governance to Belgium.
