Something that really stuck with me was Leopold's ignorance towards the needs of his family.
Question number 14, How did Leopold's failing family life affect his actions in the Congo, really made me think more about the sacrifices that Leopold made in order to get further. Although Leopold liked about being a Humanitarian I still semi-respect him because he put the Congo as number one on his priority list. His dedication was amazing. He put his family on the back burner to focus all of his efforts on the Congo. He in a way did use the Congo as an escape from his family. He had many issues at home with his daughters and when he would fail as a father things in the Congo would progress.
