In 1898 and again in 1919 he visited the U.S. In 1900 he made an extended tour of the Belgian Congo and on his return to Belgium urged the need of railroad development and ofreform in the treatment of the Congolese; when he became king, he ordered many improvements in the administration of this colony.
