Forte personnalit s'il en est, le roi des Belges Lopold II (183518651909) a pu tre critiqu par ses contemporains _ et encore pas par tous _, mais il apparat sans aucun doute, avec le recul, comme le plus grand des souverains que la Belgique ait connus depuis sa cration en 1830. Le chroniqueur franais de laRevue des Deux Mondes voyait juste en crivant lors de sa mort: ' Ce n'est pas assez de vanter son intelligence [...], mais il a t un homme d'action, ce qui est moins commun, et on est oblig de remonter assez haut dans l'histoire pour retrouver l'exemple d'une imagination aussi hardie, d'une volont aussi forte, d'une persvrance aussi tenace. 'Dot, de par la Constitution, de pouvoirs peu tendus, il a pourtant jou, par des voies dtournes, un rle capital dans l'essor conomique, colonial (crateur de l'Etat indpendant du Congo dont il taitsouverain titre personnel, il lgua ce territoire ses compatriotes), diplomatique (ses alliances faisaient de lui un familier de toutes les Cours d'Europe: il tait le cousin de Victoria et aussi du Kaiser), politique (sous son rgne, les institutions se sont affermies) et mme militaire (aprs 1890, voyant venir les prils, il usa de son prestige pour que le gouvernement institue une loi sur le service militaire personnel) de la Belgique.Passionn et ardent, cultiv et aimant la vie sous toutes ses formes, il figure juste titre dans la galerie des personnalits de premier plan de l'Europe du XIXe sicle et du dbut du XXe.Membre de l'Acadmie royale de langue et de littrature franaises de Belgique, GeorgesHenri Dumont a t professeur d'histoire conomique et sociale et d'histoire de l'art l'ICHEC. Auteur de Marie de Bourgogne(Fayard, 1982), d'Elisabeth de Belgique(Fayard, 1987) et de plusieurs autres ouvrages sur l'histoire de la Belgique, dont La Vie quotidienne en Belgique sous le rgne de Lopold II,il est aujourd'hui secrtaire gnral de la Commission nationale belge de l'UNESCO.
