Leopold II waive such personal property (the Congo Free State), mainly due to international pressure that he received because of the brutality with which reigned there. The annexation of territory to Belgium was formalized by a treaty signed on November 15, 1908, which was approved by the Belgian Parliament in August and by the King in October 1909. The colony was administered by a governor-general based in Boma, assisted by several vice governors general. In Brussels, there was a colonial minister, who presided over the Colonial Council comprises 14 members, eight of whom were appointed by the king, three were chosen by the Senate and three by the Chamber of Deputies (Lower House). The colony was divided into 15 administrative districts. The colonial budget was reviewed and approved annually by the Belgian Parliament.
When the Belgian government took the administration of the hands of King Leopold II, the situation in the Congo improved significantly. Economic and social changes transformed the Congo into a "model colony". Constructed primary and secondary schools, as well as hospitals, and many Congolese have access to them. In schools it gets to the point of teaching ethnic languages, a rarity at that time of colonial education. The doctors made great victories against sleeping sickness (they managed to eradicate the disease). There was a post doctor in every village, and in big cities, people had access to well equipped hospitals. The Administration continued with economic reforms through the construction of railways, ports, roads, mines, plantations, industrial areas, among others.
But the Belgian government has been characterized as paternalistic colonialism. The education system was dominated by the Catholic Church and some Protestant churches in rare cases, the curricula reflected Christian and Western values. For example, in 1948, 99.6 of the schools were controlled by Christian missions. The teaching given to the natives was mainly religious and vocational. The children learn to read and write, and some concepts of mathematics, but that was all. Belgian paternalism is very well represented in the comic Tintin in the Congo.

The political administration is under total control of "mother" had no local democratic institutions. The post of Head of State was exercised by the king of Belgium (which, by that time and had no political influence). The Belgian government controlled the country, but the government's actions were carried out daily by the governor general, who was appointed as an administrator by the colonial government.
In addition to the paternalism of the Belgians, had a kind of "apartheid" since there were many limitations and restrictions on the natives.
In 1952, the Governor General Leon Antoine Marie Petillon wrote to Colonial Secretary, saying that if nothing was done to improve the situation in Congo, Belgium lose its richest colony. the proposed grant to the native population greater civil rights, including the right to vote. The Belgian government was opposed to this proposal, saying that "only destabilize the region." In Belgium, some members wanted to incorporate the Congo to the Kingdom of Belgium, so the native Congolese would become Belgian citizens, and therefore have full civil rights in Belgium.
However, Belgium was not interested in their colony, and the government never had a long-term vision about the Congo. However, certain changes were made domestic politics, but these were complicated by ethnic rivalries among the native population.
The Belgian Congo was one of the largest exporters of uranium to the United States during World War II and the Cold War, especially as many removed from the mine Shinkolobwe.
It is noteworthy that in the 1950s were still forced labor in the Congo and the life expectancy reached 40 years of age.
Yet, the native Congolese had no power. Everything is decided in Brussels and Leopoldville. The secretary of the Belgian Congo and the Governor General (the leader of the colony) had absolute control, while the population did not have any. Among the Congolese people, unrest against this lack of democracy grew. In 1955, the upper class in the Congolese civilization, so-called "evolution" (advanced) launched a campaign to end the injustice. ...
