While colonialism could often hinder the economic and political development, King Leopold II's administration of Congo was an exception to that pattern. Is this true or false

False.

Explanation:

Leopoldo II's colonialism began with humanitarian actions in Congo. This made it appear that this colonism would be different from the others and would help the region to grow. However, these actions were a front for an intense exploration, accompanied by a series of abuses to start.

This is because, right at the beginning of King Leopoldo II's colonialism, he started a series of forced labor, where the people of Congo were forced to extract as much ivory and rubber as possible. In addition, those who refused to work for the crown were severely punished, often with severed hands. The population was also affected by countless diseases and the crown did nothing to treat them.

angel island immigration station was an immigration station located in san francisco bay which worked from 1910 to 1940. the majority of immigrants that got there were from the asian hemisphere, specifically from china, japan, russia, and south asia, being china the country from where more people arrived.

the number of foreigners arriving at it took the attention of americans who feared the new arrivals would take their jobs. the work opportunities were not abundant due to the economic comedown of 1870 and the asians, as newcomers, were willing to work for cheaper wages. soon they started to be seen as a threat, which led to an increased discrimination against the chinese - the biggest ethnicity arrived at this station until 1915 when japanese immigrants outnumbered them - being considered as unsuitable americans hence their looks and social situation.

at the station, the immigrant's detention may vary depending on how long the interrogation process took: it could be weeks, months, or even years.

finally, in 1940 an explosion destroyed administration building located on the island, so the united states government decided to stop the process.
