The American explorer Henry Morton Stanley staked claims along the Congo River in Africa on behalf of Leopold II of Belgium.

Stanley was hired by the ambitious King Leopold II of Belgium, who in 1876 organized an international scientific and philanthropic association, which he named the International African Association, which concealed a particular company of the king.
