Dominican Republic of the Congo

[GBW]

In what way could the present-day Democratic Republic of the Congo become associated with the Dominican Republic in such a way that its name could be amended in an ATL to that?

Well, either a natural disaster that makes the Dominican population flee to find sanctuary in the Congo Freestate or the Dominican Order get's a lot of influence in the Congo Freestate making Congo a theocracy on independence.

No one expects the Congolese Inquisition, mwahaha!

Oooh! Catholic Theocratic Congo!

Dominicans have more influence in the Caribbean than in OTL.

Dominican Republic gains independence from Spain earlier, and the Caribbean is unified under that name.

During the colonization of Africa, the Dominican Republic claims OTL DRC.

A revolution causes the old government to flee to Africa, setting up the Dominican Republic of the Congo.
