    This video is sponsored by Paradox Interactive.
    Loango is an obscure two province tribe that is subject to Kongo - but what if it were possible to use them to form the Kongolese empire and colonize Belgium in EU4? In this video guide we will cover how to play Kongo (as Loango), modernize our nation with EU4 Origins’ new mission tree and reverse colonize the European powers while keeping them out of Africa. In this alternative timeline the scramble for Africa is replaced with the African scramble for Europe and may or may not result in Belgian subjugation - King Leopold’s nightmare!
