IOTL the Congo Free State became the Belgian Congo sometime after Leopold II's death. Is there any way to make sure that the Belgian government steps in sooner? Say, the late 1890s? Would it make any difference?
Leopold II was still alive when government of Belgium gained control of Congo. But I don't know could government of Belgium get Congo earlier. Perhaps if Leopold II dies on 1890's.
