''The Congo Crown Domain: Its European And Its African History'' is a historical book written by E. D. Morel in 1907. The book provides a comprehensive account of the Congo Free State, which was established by King Leopold II of Belgium in the late 19th century. Morel examines the political, economic, and social aspects of the Congo Free State, including the exploitation of its natural resources, the brutal treatment of its people, and the resistance movements that emerged in response to European colonization. The book also explores the role of European powers in the Congo, including the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, and their efforts to gain control over the region’s resources. Morel’s work is significant for its critique of European imperialism and its advocacy for the rights of African people. The book remains a valuable resource for scholars and students of African history and colonialism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
