What Wikipedia says

The Kingdom of Belgium controlled several territories and concessions during the colonial era, principally the Belgian Congo (modern DR Congo) from 1908 to 1960, Ruanda-Urundi (modern Rwanda and Burundi) from 1922 to 1962, and the Lado Enclave (which was made up of a small portion of the modern Central Equatoria province in South Sudan) from 1894 to 1910.
