"It wouldn’t be till 1908 when Leopold II acquired the Belgian Cong or the Congo Free State as it was then known."

This is incorrect, Leopold acquired the Congo Free State in 1885 and in 1908 it became an official Belgian colony. This was the only historical fact in the article that I knew anything about, and it was wrong, which kinda makes me distrust the rest of the article.
