Beautiful exploration! I'm originally from the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe! It's worth mentioning that France had very few European settlers in their overseas territories except Quebec and maybe Algeria before the independence. The Caribbean was mostly ruled by a very few "entrepreneurs" called the békés who made fortunes out of slavery and the plantation economy. Over 80% of the population of these islands are of African descent, and the remanence includes a non-negligible white European French population (mostly government workers), and lastly very few mixed-race minorities. Socially speaking racial tension is still prevalent, and there is an ongoing debate over independence because many Guadeloupeans feel like second-class citizens, but won't take their independence out of the economic debacle that may result from it. Out of all the independent islands, we have the highest standard of living and most young people can study in Europe and North America thanks to our EU passport.
What is the median income on Gwada? According to the Internet its around 1700€ / month, is that correct or does this only count for "government" employees?
Initially they were trading posts, like those of the Compagnie des Indes, where the French bought and sold goods with the natives. The islands, mostly uninhabited, were used for refueling. Then some French people started to settle down.
I dunno why but in your maps you miss Burkina Faso in the colonial empires. My French ancestor work in that colony and was even one of the commanders of this one.
The both French Colonial Empire 🇫🇷 were in reality bigger than shown on the video, even the Napoleonic Empire (adding the submitted states and colonies) was colossal. French Colonial Empire was the largest on Earth in 1945.
French language ⚜️ is official in the most countries in the world, and is the official language of all international institutions. French is the only one language of UN and diplomacy, the official language of NATO and EU and other fields such as aeronautics (that was invented by the French people). It is spoken by a third of billion people throughout all the continent (the only one language to have been spread that much with English).
France is not an empire since 2nd empire (ending 1870) but a republic. Moreover, since 70's end of decolonisation all extra continental territories people have choice to stay or leave the republic. And guess what, most choose to stay.
@@decodedpsyop the comment makes it look as if there is "hatred" That's simply not the case. And you have a diaspora of vietnamese in France and they don't have a chip on their shoulders. They are lovely to deal with. This is not as if say the Americans had no problem with the Mexicans, with the open goal or taking back the American southwest. And it looks as though it is a question of not so long...
France brought modernity and development to these countries....it is not the fault of the French if these nations have left everything abandoned since the French left....you have done your choice, don't come crying today.

Amazing. The edit is just spectacular ❤
Really nice video, insane that the French Empire's reach was so extensive, and still is. Underrated, more people need to see this!

You didn’t even mention all the French colonies still active in Africa and levant using military force.
Ridiculous. There is military bases all over the world. Not to invade the host country !! 😂😂😂
Don’t forget British overseas territories

Only utilisation
Me interesting when Europeans coming to other nation why it’s legal and ok. But when non Europeans coming to Europe it’s bad

France is particularly loved in Algeria and Vietnam.
You crazy
Don't say that Indochine and Algeria are the same. The causes were not the same.
With Vietnam the relationship is not bad at all.
@sylvaincroissant7650 of course there's no relationship with France to begin with
