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.
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
I can't fact check that either
Frankish Empire
Napoleon's Empire
Now what if none of them collapsed...
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:)
If I added that the quiz would just be CotW but easier
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
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
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
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!
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.
And some cities and islands in South Korea
is in grey on the map a color used to indicate otherwise not included in the French global empire
but it says that I left it out
It was not yellow or white shaded it is not in a black outlined box
and it did not turn up red on the finished map after the time ran out
Here, people do this sneaky little trick called looking at the map
