I was watching a documentary about the brutality of King Leopold's Congo. One thing that stood out to me was a quotation by a news reporter from the time, who said that if Leopold continued his actions, the Congolese people would become extinct within 20 years.

Say Leopold lives longer and doesn't give up the Congo. Could that actually happen? What would end up happening to the colony if it didn't have any people? A League of Nations Nature Preserve?
