hey, all. i recently came up with some ideas for what to do with the Congo in my ASB ATL, and i wanted to get some outside opinions. see, in the context of the TL, Belgium is not an independent nation (nor are any of the Low Countries), so realistically there can't be a Belgian Congo without a Belgian government. come the imperial era, the Scramble for Africa still takes place (i see no reason for it not to) and want to know what everyone thinks about a different European power having control of that region (and possibly parts of Congo-Brazzaville as well)
however, i don't want to use a major power like Britain or France or Germany. i'm thinking ones more along the lines of how powerful Belgium was at the time. i'm kinda shooting for Poland (even though they weren't part of the colonial game IOTL). really, any non-landlocked European state, including ones which weren't around at the time. i'm just looking for ideas, not necessarily plausible ones
and personally, i'd prefer to leave out the plausibility of such ideas from general discussion here; again, i just want some opinions on what could be interesting
