This time Leopold II acted several years earlier than in history, and with the model set by the Kingdom of East Africa, he was not as timid as in the past. It is basically certain that there will be no difficulty in establishing the Belgian Congo.

The territory of the Belgian Congo roughly covers the entire area of the former Congo (Brazzaville), plus the Luanda region of former Angola, most of Gabon, a small part of southern Cameroon, eastern Guinea, and the western region of Central Africa.
The area is at least over 600,000 square kilometers. How much the Kingdom of Belgium can actually obtain depends on how many resources Belgium is willing to invest.
The only factor threatening the Belgian Congo is France, but it can be assured that within these few years, France will not trouble Belgium, and may even woo Belgium. People grow and so do nations.
