Best Answer

European colonization was for many reasons. Wether it be for power, land, resources, to spread ideas (such as religion or European supremacy), or just simple exploration and adventure. The United Kingdom, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands all had notable territories in Africa.

Why did Russia not possess colonies in Africa?

Russia tried to establish a colony in 1889. They decided to settle "Sagallo", a part of modern-day Djibouti. At that time, most of Africa had already been claimed by other nations.

The ships bombarded the Russians until they surrendered. Russia never tried to colonize Africa again.
