Just because Ethiopia was the only Sub-Saharan nation to keep themselves independent in OTL (Until WW2 at least), doesn't mean it will be the same in this one.
If we are going to parallel OTL exactly there would be little point in doing MC-Z.

I understand that, but some could have broken away from the imperial power that dominated them.
Alba went from a monarchy to a communist government relatively close to the 1910 time point. There is no way that they could hold on to much of their empire. So, either other powers move in (meaning more fighting in those areas) or they get independence of one form or another. It is not like the French Revolution, when news took so long to travel around the world, allowing the new French government to hold onto their territories; by this time travel is some what swifter. Hell, Egypt gained independence from Britain in 1922 OTL, not to inconceivable that some in this different Tl could do it a few decades earlier.

The protectorates of Goudkust and Meleguet Kaap, subsidiaries to Vrijland*. In the early colonial period, the Frankish government tried to exile the Dutch* minorities to Africa, as well as to the New World. The dutch population in these african colonies was rather small, but the irredentist sentiment that moved Vrijland on the second half of the XIXth century lead them to claim these african colonies of its former motherland. Leon, insterested on a weaker Frankish Empire and a smaller monarchist influence overall, supported the Vrijlander claims.
*A former Frankish colony on the New World with at least a Dutch plurality (if not a majority).
**Dutch, ITTL, may refer to both the inhabitants of Netherlands and all of Lower Saxony, as a latinized version of "deutsche".
