All Modern-Day Countries Ever Controlled by French People

Below is a map of modern-day countries that were fully or partially under the control of France. Can you name them all?

Click the map to zoom!

For this quiz, the definition of French people will be ethnic French and Gallicized minorities. Former countries that did not adopt French culture during their occupation (e.g. Nazi Germany) are not considered. French people that occupied other regions and lost their identities as time went on (e.g. Anglo-Normans) are also excluded

Tributaries and regions under heavy influence are included

As this quiz is now featured, there will be at most 1 update per year to avoid resetting the stats too frequently. If there is any issue with the map, feel free to comment below and I will be noting that down for the following update

Level 51

Nommed!

Level 74

Jan 26, 2021

Thanks!

Level 76

Jan 26, 2021

Tobago was virtually impossible to see! Nominated, such a fun quiz!!

Level 74

Jan 26, 2021

Just added Tobago to the zoom :D Should be much better now

Level 57

Aug 16, 2021

When did the French settle Australia

Level 74

Aug 17, 2021

It was an unjustified claim of Dirk Hartog island. I will be removing Australia from the map when I update this quiz next year.

Level 35

Feb 26, 2023

It has been over a year since that comment. Still no update.

Level 57

Aug 24, 2021

They also controlled Korea but then the Joseon kicked them out

Level 74

Aug 26, 2021

It was a failed invasion, Joseon resisted them well

Level 57

Aug 29, 2021

There was also a attempt for the French to explore Java

Level 74

Aug 30, 2021

Can't find anything about that. If you're referring to the Napoleonic Wars, Java was actually still defended by Dutch people and eventually became under British control

Level 57

Aug 30, 2021

Have you heard about the Kingdom of Sedang? The man who ruled that country actually sponsored France to explore that Indonesian Island. But he never got to even explore Java and instead went to Vietnam to form the Kingdom of Sedang.

Level 74

Aug 31, 2021

So they didn't actually control Java, but instead just Vietnam which is already part of the quiz because of French Indochina

I'm confused, what is your point then?

Level 57

Sep 9, 2021

Wait when did France invade Sweden

Level 74

Sep 11, 2021

The Swedish Royal House (House of Bernardotte) is French

Level 57

Jul 6, 2022

You said you'll remove the French claim on Dirk Hartog Island near Western Australia.

Level 49

Nov 3, 2022

They will, but they only update once per year to avoid resetting stats to often, look at the pinned comment

Level 51

Jan 26, 2021

Damn a view of these were hard to see had to spent 4 minutes looking for them

Few of these are trinidad and tobago equatorial guinea and a few others could also be anoying to find other than that its a really good one nominated

Level 74

Jan 26, 2021

Yeah I agree, some are really hidden, but there isn't a much better way to do it as adding too many zoom cams would ruin the purpose of the quiz

Level 57

Sep 15, 2021

How about all modern countries controlled by Dutch People

Level 74

Sep 30, 2021

That doesn't exist, but there's this quiz by Dekkie

Also I don't think this thread was about suggesting new ideas

Level 57

Jan 26, 2021

Good SVG! Good quiz! Nominated!

Level 57

Jan 26, 2021

Missed EQ and Jordan. Had fun!

Level 74

Jan 26, 2021

Thanks :D glad that you liked it

Level 51

Jan 26, 2021

Excellent! Nominated! It's a very good work!

I find all of them quickly, excepting Equatorial Guinea, which I looked for around 4 minuts before finding it.

Oh, and don't forget: Vive la France!

Level 74

Jan 26, 2021

Glad that you enjoyed it! Equatorial Guinea was indeed really sneaky, without the zoom feature, I don't see how anyone could've possibly noticed it. Thanks Poirot! Vive la France :D :flag_fr:

Level 51

Mar 26, 2021

France will become featured once again with this uncredible quiz! Yahoo! Thanks a lot, and congratulations!

Level 62

May 27, 2021

I just used the presence of the noticeable square between Cameroon and Gabon!

Level 28

Jun 3, 2021

Yes, vive la france that colonised most of the world.... yikes

Amazing quiz! 5 stars and nominated

Level 74

Jan 26, 2021

Thanks Dylan! Feels great to see people appreciating my work :D

Level 63

Jan 26, 2021

I have nominated this quiz. It is very bon.

Level 74

Jan 26, 2021

Thanks! That act was very baguette of you :D

Level 55

Jan 28, 2021

Great Quiz! There are some very hidden countries, but I managed to get them all.

Level 69

Mar 15, 2021

You spelled Guinea small in EG

Level 74

Mar 15, 2021

I'll fix that in the upcoming update, thanks!

Level 68

Mar 20, 2021

Great quiz already nommed, before being spotlighted ;)

Level 74

Mar 20, 2021

Thanks Elboy, greatly appreciated ;D

Level 55

Mar 20, 2021

This Quiz is Amazing! Nommed. I also like the strategic use of your spotlights. If I were you, I'd do exactly this.

Level 74

Mar 20, 2021

Glad that you liked it!

But I literally did not get to pick either of the 2 spotlights I got, t'was just pure luck

Level 67

Mar 20, 2021

I thought I missed some tiny Caribbean islands. Instead I managed to miss Eq.Guinea , Jordan and Bulgaria. Great quiz nonetheless. Nominated.

Level 74

Mar 21, 2021

Thanks! Those were rather sneaky c;

Level 58

Mar 20, 2021

When was San Marino ever under French rule or occupation? I think never.

While Sweden and Norway were not occupied by France, they were "ruled" by French people (and Sweden still is).

Level 74

Mar 21, 2021

San Marino was a protectorate of the First French Empire

As for Sweden and Norway, I'll be leasing an update on that soon

Level 55

Mar 20, 2021

I like how you include such detailed descriptions about each empire in your empire quizzes

Level 74

Mar 21, 2021

It's a tactic

Level 69

Mar 21, 2021

Nominated!

Level 74

Mar 21, 2021

Thanks a lot Nate :D

Level 51

Mar 22, 2021

First feature comin' up!

Level 74

Mar 22, 2021

Yup ;D Looks like QM featured a total of 5 quizzes this week just to put mine on top

Level 51

Mar 25, 2021

~~I wonder why he didn't feature the top 6 quizzes~~

Level 76

Mar 22, 2021

Waiting for this to be featured, huge amounts of good luck!

Level 74

Mar 22, 2021

Thanks a lot Fuse, couldn't have gotten here without everyone's support :D

Level 55

Mar 22, 2021

Congrats on your first feature(in advance) looks like this series is your breakthrough! You have 5 or 6 quizzes with 15+ noms from it.

Level 74

Mar 22, 2021

Thanks! I genuinely hope it does carry the rest of this series! The two spotlights I've gotten have really helped me out a lot. Initially I was expecting the feature to be around May, but at this rate it should happen on March 29th :D

Level 37

Mar 23, 2021

Second try lets go! Surprising that the least guessed country had 78%!

Level 74

Mar 23, 2021

I wouldn't say it's that surprising, most people that reach here are fairly active on the site and probably do know all the countries recognized by the website as well as some background knowledge of history

Level 67

Mar 23, 2021

Very good quiz, great job. Obviously nommed.

Level 67

Mar 23, 2021

well at least when my countdown finally refreshes :D

Level 74

Mar 24, 2021

Thanks!

Level 67

Mar 23, 2021

One question, when did France control Brazil?

Level 74

Mar 24, 2021

Portugal was once a French tributary

Level 72

Mar 30, 2021

When?

Level 74

Mar 30, 2021

Unfortunately I can no longer find the source I used on that, but at least a part of Brazil was once under Spanish control, which was ruled by the House of Bourbon. I have corrected my map according to that, and hopefully the update should be leased soon

Level 55

Mar 24, 2021

89 nominations - congrats, well-deserved! ~~Hopefully it won't beat the record :)~~

Level 74

Mar 24, 2021

Thanks!

Considering this quiz grows like 10 noms a day now, it should beat the record on Monday, I'll hope that curve wont bend downwards XD

Level 61

Mar 25, 2021

Amazing job!!! Congratulations on 99 nominations! Is that a record?

Level 51

Mar 25, 2021

No 32 nominations below 1st place!

Level 55

Mar 25, 2021

He will certainly reach 100, but I dunno about the record

Level 74

Mar 26, 2021

Judging by the current figures, I probably won't

Level 57

Mar 27, 2021

Yes. You were receiving so many daily nominations due to the spotlight, and it has moved down in the list now. Currently, you are only getting a few at a time from the most nominated page.

Level 60

Mar 25, 2021

Great quiz! Your welcome for your hundredth nomination!

Level 74

Mar 26, 2021

Thanks :D

Level 74

Mar 29, 2021

Thanks :D

Level 83

Mar 29, 2021

I got to 100 and then I couldn't see the last two. I had to zoom in on Africa to see the tiny bits of Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea.

Level 74

Mar 29, 2021

They were quite sneaky not gonna lie, but that's the whole point of this quiz ;D

Level 65

Jan 4, 2022

I got to 119 and then had plenty of time to scan around and eventually find the Nigerian dots.

Level 58

Mar 29, 2021

Congrats on your first feature!

🌟💫✨ FIRST FEATURE!

Level 74

Mar 29, 2021

yup :sunglase:

Level 76

Mar 29, 2021

Great job with the feature, Bread!

Level 74

Mar 29, 2021

Thanks a lot Fuse, I actually wouldn't have made this many SVG quizzes without your help :D

Level 36

Mar 29, 2021

first English feature, Good job, I can't wait for more!

Level 74

Mar 29, 2021

Thanks! I'm hoping for more hehe

Level 77

Mar 29, 2021

I really thought that Mozambique would be one. I had no idea that it was never controlled by France. Next to Cote D'ivoir, it has the most French sounding name in Africa.

Level 74

Mar 29, 2021

Mozambique? Near Côte d'Ivoire?

Level 60

Mar 29, 2021

I think he/she means that Mozambique’s name sounds French, just like Côte d’Ivoire.

Level 74

Mar 29, 2021

Ah, that makes sense now. Mozambique does kinda sound French but it was actually a Portuguese colony that was never really under French control

Level 55

Mar 29, 2021

congrats on the feature! hope to see more in the future :)

Level 74

Mar 29, 2021

Thanks! I'm hoping for some other of my quizzes to be featured too hehe

Level 60

Mar 29, 2021

Congratulations on your first featured quiz!

Level 74

Mar 29, 2021

Thanks!

Level 81

Mar 29, 2021

Cyprus was ruled by French kings for a few centuries.

Level 74

Mar 30, 2021

Thanks! I've just updated the quiz, it's currently pending for approval

Level 55

Mar 30, 2021

I'm not sure if QM will approve the change - because adding Cyprus would reset the stats only after a day of the quiz being featured

Level 70

Mar 30, 2021

When was Barbados ruled by the French?

Level 74

Mar 30, 2021

I've misread the article about Barbados whilst researching, the change is now pending for review. Thanks!

Level 72

Mar 30, 2021

What is your source? I understand there are all former French colonies, but what about Hungary, or Albania, or Sweden?

Level 74

Mar 30, 2021

Sweden had and still have French monarchs, and as for the massive chunk of Europe, it was all because of Napoleon Bonaparte

Level 44

May 27, 2021

The Swedish monarchs are not still French, but they are descended from a French family. They have long since become naturalized Swedish (the most recent Swedish monarch not to have been born in Sweden was born in 1799! How long does a family have to live in a country before it's considered part of that country, för helvete?).

Level 74

May 27, 2021

I guess that's a better explanation, the Swedish monarchs are from the House of Bernadotte, which was founded by French people

Level 66

Mar 30, 2021

Norway has never been under control of France.

Level 74

Mar 30, 2021

It wasn't, but it was once led by French monarchs. You can search up the House of Bernardotte for more details

Level 69

Mar 30, 2021

Where's Poland-Lithuania? Henry III of France doesn't count?

Level 74

Mar 30, 2021

Thanks, just updated the map yet again. Let's just hope this change gets approved lol

Level 69

Mar 31, 2021

Looks impressive, but now I wonder if the same map for German People is close to 100% green: Take this map and add the British Empire, the Russian Empire, the Austrian Empire, the Dutch Empire, and the German Empire (and remove some African countries because Vichy lost control).

Level 56

Apr 1, 2021

easy

Level 77

Apr 1, 2021

I think Montenegro should be included, parts of it were controlled by Napoleon in the beginning of 19th century.

Level 71

Apr 1, 2021

Congrats on the feature! This is a great quiz :) There's a lot on here I'm curious about. If you have answers or sources I'd love it!

1. When did the French control so much land in India? I'm only familiar with their rule in Pondicherry and maybe a few other coastal towns, but I never realized they went so deep into India!

2. Why did they control a small territory in the middle of Nigeria?

3. How did they get so much territory in Turkey? Did they capture it somehow from the Ottomans, or did they capture it some other time?

4. Where did the territory in southern China come from? When I look up "French Indochina," Wikipedia seems to imply that their rule didn't go beyond the borders of Laos/Vietnam/Cambodia.

Level 74

Apr 2, 2021

Thanks!

1. It was part of the First French colonial empire

2. Enclaves of Forcados and Badjibo

3. Kingdom of Cilicia

4. French sphere of influence in China

Level 49

Aug 27, 2022

They never conquered that much of india, those are just "spheres of influence", in which they had some sort of control over the rulers of those territories, but that's it.

Level 78

Apr 4, 2021

Saint Alouarn explored Shark Bay in Western Australia in 1772 and made a claim of this land on behalf of France, but there was no European settlement made at the time and this is really no different to when Cook visited Eastern Australia 2 years earlier and claimed it for the British. If the quiz is about places that were "controlled" by French people, then the Shark Bay claim doesn't make sense because no follow up expedition ever intended to settle Western Australia.

Level 74

Apr 4, 2021

Dirk Hartog island

Level 78

Apr 4, 2021

I edited my post as you were replying I think. I think you've construed a land claim for control, because the two things are not the same in my view. The French didn't settle and nobody came to ever follow up the claim.

Level 74

Apr 4, 2021

Seems like that one was an unrecognized claim. Thanks, will remove in the upcoming update

Level 68

Apr 5, 2021

Is there any way to change the colour settings? To the colour blind these shades of yellow and green are awefully close.

Level 74

Apr 5, 2021

I'm not sure but maybe the colorblind settings in "Your Account" can help

Level 58

Apr 15, 2021

Are your sure France was controlled by the French Empire? I haven't heard about this before and can't find it anywhere by looking it up.

Level 74

Apr 16, 2021

Can't be sure tbh, perhaps they were controlled by aliens

I can't fact check that either

Level 64

Apr 20, 2021

French Empire

Frankish Empire

Napoleon's Empire

Now what if none of them collapsed...

Level 74

Apr 20, 2021

If the Frankish Empire never collapsed in first place, then Napoleonic France and the 2nd French Empire probably wouldn't exist

Level 55

Apr 26, 2021

Whilst having excellent maps, this series also has wonderful Quiz Descriptions as well, though QM removed the one from this one.

Level 74

Apr 29, 2021

If the description is too chunky it probably won't look that good on mobile, so I guess I can see why

Level 56

May 7, 2021

I have to say it: Why did 1% of people not read the title and neglect France? Hopefully jokesters... XD

Level 74

May 8, 2021

Perhaps they thought like some other quizzes I'd exclude the home country ¯\__(ツ)__/¯

Level 72

May 18, 2021

Trinidad not highlighted, Mauritius island not colored in after guess but water around was.

Level 74

May 21, 2021

The French only held Tobago, as for Mauritius, ill deal with that, thanks

Level 57

May 27, 2021

Great quiz! And really nice SVG!

Do you mind if I translate some of your quizzes into Italian?

I am working with marquez100 at the moment, and I wanted to get your permission first:)

Level 74

May 27, 2021

I'm surely fine with that, go ahead

Level 57

May 27, 2021

Thank you!

Level 74

May 27, 2021

I was a bit surprised to see Sweden and Norway there until remembered that the current king of Sweden is of the Bernadotte family. So technically both countries have been ruled by a French although not by France.

Level 79

May 27, 2021

Augh, sneaky Tobago!

Level 74

May 27, 2021

That caught some off guard :wink:

Level 65

May 27, 2021

This is very misleading; just because a country is allied with France does not mean it is controlled by France.

Level 80

May 27, 2021

Literally took a whole five minutes of time for me to spot it was Tobago that was yellow. Damn.

Level 74

May 27, 2021

It's a really sneaky one, takes a while to spot it

Level 69

May 27, 2021

No matter how many, they're too many

Level 74

May 27, 2021

That's right, scary how French people managed to get this much land under their control

Level 59

May 27, 2021

Looks like many countries would get massive if they followed the logic of Israel

Level 67

May 27, 2021

can u do Portugal next?

Level 74

May 27, 2021

Dekkie has made that already iirc

Level 67

May 27, 2021

why is there a city in the middle of nigeria?

Level 64

May 27, 2021

It's a very small piece of land; the circle is only there to help you see it

Level 74

May 27, 2021

Enclaves of Forcados and Badjibo

Level 67

May 27, 2021

portugal never belonged to france

Level 63

Dec 23, 2021

Portugal was occupied by France under Napoleon. The royal family had fled to Brazil

Level 72

May 27, 2021

I would recommend adding the show missing countries thing that some other quizzes like "Countries of the World" have if possible. Would have saved me a few seconds hunting for the last missing country I couldn't see without zooming in (Nigeria).

Level 74

May 27, 2021

I've previously thought of that when making this but think of this:

If I added that the quiz would just be CotW but easier

Level 73

May 27, 2021

i'd love a source, or at least a description of your methodology - i'm fascinated how you can know so specifically where the french empire extended to, especially those tiny enclaves in nigeria, jordan or bangladesh

Level 74

May 27, 2021

I did my research using videos by mapping YouTubers, Wikipedia articles like this, some maps I could find online as well as additional information I missed provided by fellow JetPunkers

Level 68

May 28, 2021

Could you perhaps list the sources used for this?

I followed you with Colonial France, Napoleonic France and occupied ground, but I lost you on Scandinavia and Colonial Spain. Saw in the comments that they were included because of French kings or something...

Would be nice to have a full list of territories

Level 74

May 28, 2021

Scandinavia was from the House of Bernadotte

The Spanish were from the House of Bourbon

I probably won't be able to list all the sources I've used since this was made a while back, but I am pretty sure that those information were mostly from Wikipedia, with a small portion from YouTubers such as Khey Pard

Level 64

May 29, 2021

I kept tryna spell Guyana

Level 52

May 31, 2021

So essentially France ruled all of the world at some point

Level 74

May 31, 2021

Well no, but I guess you can kinda say that

Level 52

Jun 1, 2021

please add missing countries button

Level 74

Jun 2, 2021

That kinda ruins the point of this quiz

Level 30

Jun 2, 2021

I really enjoyed this quiz, congrats!

Level 75

Jun 12, 2021

Nothing against you, because this is clearly a well-researched and well-made SVG, but I find these kinds of quizzes intolerable. You don't need to know a single thing about France, you just have to have the 196 badge and have the patience to zoom into corners of the map in search of slivers of yellow. Tremendously uninteresting.

Level 74

Jun 15, 2021

Well, you never need to know stuff to take quizzes. This can help people learn more about the French people and is not entirely pointless.

But well, I definitely do understand your point. I find this gradually becoming a revamped version of the "Modern-Day Countries of the ___ Empire" series and that's exactly why I stopped making them

Level 73

Jul 11, 2021

To be honest, I don't really think about these in terms of the theme, but I do really enjoy typing out random countries on a map. The theme perhaps only adds a bit of extra colour to the quiz, but that colour is very much appreciated.

One of my all-time favourites on this site is Stewart's "Countries in Random Squares of the World Map", and that's even more meaningless!

Level 50

Jul 15, 2021

When did France control that much of India??

Level 74

Jul 15, 2021

They once held the south Indian coast. They probably controlled less land than this but the sources online couldn't agree on how much overseas territories the First French Empire controlled

Level 63

Dec 23, 2021

Louis XV lost almost all of it to the British during the Seven Years War. Then France had some minor settlements like Pondichéry until the mid XXth century

Level 50

Jul 15, 2021

Was the byzantine emperor french at some point??

Level 74

Jul 15, 2021

I don't remember the part around Istanbul, but I think it was either an occupation or a Latin emperor from France

Level 63

Dec 23, 2021

Latin Empire, after the 4th crusade.

Level 50

Jul 15, 2021

Shouldnt you shade out mosquito coast??

Level 74

Jul 15, 2021

Yes, they are from the House of Bourbon which is branch of the French house of Capet. After the Charles II of Spain died childless, the Spanish agnatic branch of the Habsburg dynasty died out and the war of succession afterward resulted in Phillip V, Louis XV's brother, becoming King of Spain in exchange for relinquishing the right to become the French King when his grandfather King Louis XIV died.

Great quiz, some possible additions for the next update could include:

The French period in Indonesia

The Republic of Independent Guiana/Free State of Counani

And some could argue South Africa (as the Cape Colony was ruled by the French-dominated Batavian Republic) may as well be here too.

The fact that two percent of people didn't realize that French people lived (and live) in France worries me.

I don't quite understand why the south american territories are considered? Doesn't it violate the description? They were never gallicized? They just were colonies of spain which was occupied for a few years? But they never had any sort of control, even nominally over the spanish colonies? Or am I missing something?

Napoleonic wars, Spain’s monarchy (including the colonies) were taken over by France

So, wait for me to clarify. The Iberian Union does not count as Spain (even though it undeniably did for 60 years), but the 3-year French occupation of Spain and the fact that the kings were Bourbons there does count, right? What hypocrisy and disgusting.
