i like your map. just wondering what the history for the Congo region is? i also have wrote an alt-histroy without Belgium and the Congo region especially the eastern part is a bit difficult to decide which country would claim it.
The Congo region is divided between France (northwestern part), Portugal (southwestern part, merged into Angola) and Britain (eastern part). As usual, the British was so hyped by the Cape to Cairo project, it's difficult to give that part to anyone else. You may also give the easternmost part to Germany, but I don't find it visually appealing.
Btw I'm inspired by this thread. https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/lets-play-a-game-with-the-congo.392396/
