Ah yes, the Belgium Congo - a location known for wide turning circles and nice flat, even road surfaces.
The Belgians made so much money from slave-harvested rubber that they indeed built decent highways and other infrastructure. Of course, those weren't for the indigenous population, only motor vehicles could use them. After the revolution, the nation had no finance, expertise and stability to maintain them.
The Belgians tortured and killed for profit in such horrendous numbers that even their allies were very uncomfortable.
Did the Belgians asdassinate you?
How does this even turn?
With great difficulty
The picture makes me think that both the front and middle wheels turn.
With the two front sets of wheels and not very well I would imagine.
And I'm sure everyone traveling in such a vehicle would be happily welcomed by the local population considering the friendly nature of Leopold mere decades earlier.
