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. France, however, had already claimed Sagallo, so when they heard that Russians were starting to build a settlement they dispatched a small naval force. The ships bombarded the Russians until they surrendered. Russia never tried to colonize Africa again.
