More Belgian Colonies?

Would it be possible for Belgian to gain more colonies, Besides Congo they had apparently a small one in Santo Thomas, Guatemala. It also had a contract with Ladd & Co. to colonize Hawaii but it fell apart because the company had financial
difficulties. Leopold II had a rather distinct wish to gain some colonies, which he gained later on. So would it be possible for a small new kingdom to have a moderate amount of colonies?

I suppose. Maybe Belgium buys a few Pacific Island chains? :D
 
Considering their track record in the Congo, let's hope not!

But what if Leopold hadn't been king? As far as I know, his policies were what caused the majority of the super-bad issues down there, such as the genocide(okay, I'll admit I'm no expert in this regard, but I thought it made sense.)
 
Free Congo State was a private property of Leopold II because the belgian parliament had no wish to fund colonies.
