Russia actually tried to get Madagascar 🇲🇬

I also forgot a man proposed to get Djibouti 🇩🇯 but instead got executed

They didn’t because they didn’t need to, they already had a large contiguous empjre

Есть только одна причина. Французы и Англичане не хотели конкуренции.

Sorry for being a jackass but you absolutely butchered the Balkans borders.
Here are the mistakes:
Serbia:
Serbia didn’t have Vojvodina and owned Kosovo
Bosnia and Herzegovina:
They were fully under austro-Hungarian occupation by 1907
And before that under ottoman
Austria Hungary:
Austria Hungary owned the entirety of South Tyrol, Transylvania, Galicia and Bukovina.
Romania:
Romania didn’t own Moldova or as it is known Basarabia, it didn’t own Bukovina or Transilvania

For more access to Southern coasts, Peter The First (Tsar of russia) had plans to occupy Persia and gain access to indian ocean via persian gulf, tho thanking most of central asia and caucuses, they never succeeded to fully capture Iran and expand their colonies, as well as the fact that iran was under British influence mostly during qajar era
Even tho russia before that Fathali shah gains the king title in iran, lost multiple wars to previous iranian kings and dynasties including safavids and nader shah afshar.
