The same way they treated them as slaves. Inferior, and less than human. If you look at old maps you will see the Euro centric view of the world. European nations are shown as much larger than Africa, Asia, and South America . In this way they are showing that they consider themselves as superior to the people in those countries. With this thinking it was an easy move to enslave those seen as inferior .

How did king leopold treat africans in his colony?

King Leopold II of Belgium exploited and brutalized the people of the Congo Free State for personal profit during his rule from 1885 to 1908. He imposed harsh labor conditions, committed atrocities such as forced labor, mutilations, and killings, resulting in the deaths of millions of Congolese. This period of colonization is often referred to as one of the most brutal in African history.


Did the europeans treat the Africans fairly?

Well first of all the answer to your question is no. The Europeans treated African slaves horribly. They made them work all day. Slave trading between Africa and Europe began with the Portuguese, who were the first European nation to make continuous contact with Africa. African slaves were mainly taken to Europe to be used on a land that needed slaves. If a slave got tired, and slowed down or stopped, they would get a punishment. Sometimes slave owners would rape their slaves, raping is one of the many cruel and mean things done to slaves. Raping a slave wasn't even against the law! Sometimes slaves were beaten so harshly that they nearly bled to death. Slaves couldn't have an education, and it very hard to escape slavery.
