What if the British South Africa Company had annexed Katanga to Rhodesia, rather than King Leopold II annexing it to the Congo Free State? I'm thinking the point of divergence could be somewhere around the time of the Stairs Expedition. Perhaps the 1890 BSAC effort by Alfred Sharpe and Joseph Thomson could be succesful, or the CFS expedition led by William Stairs could end in disaster and give BSAC time to mount another one.
