Reply to comment by FlimFlamStan in TIL that between 1895 and 1908 the population of the Belgian Congo declined by between 2 and 13 million due to colonial brutality and diseases caused by colonialism. by hetkleinezusje

One of my favorite war movies, Apocalypse Now, is heavily based on Heart of Darkness, just made into a Vietnam War setting. I had grown up watching the movie first with my Dad (who as a career Army veteran still thought highly of it) and then in AP English in HS imagine my surprise when we read the book.
