Just a minor one. I'll be straight : I wonder why western bank of Congo river fell to the French. Guess they had precedent in the exploration of the area. But I wonder if someone else, most obviously Leopold and later Belgium, could've gotten it. Leaving only roughly the area of Gabon to France.

Also perhaps if Leopold didn't get his Congo Free state, it could've fallen to Portugues along with the entire OTL Congo-Zaire. After all, they had even older precedent.
