What type of crops are grown in Belfast Northern Ireland?

Belfast is a city, not a rural area, so there would be very few crops grown in it. Some people may have fruit trees like apples, plums and pears in their garden or might grow things like potatoes, carrots, cabbage or lettuce in their gardens or small plots they would have, but that would be on a very small scale. You would have to go outside the city to find crops being grown in any great amounts. The crops already mentioned would be grown and things like wheat, barley and other cereal crops might be found, amongst other things.

What likely explains the poor standing of leopold 2 among historians today?

Leopold II's barbarity in the Congo Free State (now the Democratic Republic of Congo) likely explains his poor standing among historians today. Leopold II presided over some of the worst abuses that any colonizer had over any colonized people. Most notably, he forced the Congolese people to collect rubber in notoriously poor conditions with incredibly high quotas. The hard labor alone accounted for the death of 10,000,000 Congolese, but what is particularly jaw-dropping was that any Congolese person who did not make the quota had his hand cut off with a machete. The situation was so reprehensible that it received international outcry in Europe at the time, which was a quite an accomplishment, since at this time when Africans were generally considered to be lesser humans by Europeans.
