During the period of the British Empire, the Congo was primarily associated with King Leopold II of Belgium, who claimed it as his personal possession from 1885 to 1908, known as the Congo Free State. While the British did not directly control the Congo, they were involved in the region, particularly through commerce and exploration. British missionaries and explorers, such as Henry Morton Stanley, played significant roles in the early exploration and documentation of the Congo. The exploitation and atrocities committed during Leopold's rule drew international attention and criticism, eventually leading to reforms and the establishment of the Belgian Congo.
