There is no general consensus (how do you measure somebody's misery). However, most people consider the Belgian style of colonization to be the most brutal. It was typical in the Belgian Congo for Africans to lose limbs due to failure to make European quotas.

∙ 9y agoBy far, the subjugation of the Congo by King Leopold of Belgium, was the most brutal of all the imperialists. Workers were mercilessly exploited and worked to death. The wives and children of the workers were held hostage until the workers had fulfilled their rubber quota. If they didn't meet quotas, villages were burned, children were murdered, and workers hands were hacked off.
