1888 CE to 1899 CE

France coordinates three African expeditions in 1899-1900—the Gentil Mission from French Congo, the Foureau-Lamy Mission from Algeria and the Voulet–Chanoine Mission from Timbuktu—with the aim of linking France's African possessions.

The three eventually meet at Kousséri (in the far north of Cameroon) and defeat Rabih az-Zubayr's forces at the Battle of Kousséri.
