After the end of the 19th century, the African region began to enter the most chaotic extreme. Britain and Portugal, which had colonies in Africa, jointly launched a major counterattack against the German-controlled areas, while the French watched from the other side.
The strategy was to stand quietly and watch Britain, Portugal and Germany perform on their own. At the same time, Spain and Belgium had practiced and declared their absolute neutrality.
And what will happen to Far East Group?
Should we continue to make a smooth transition and vigorously develop, or should we take action again at lightning speed? However, the area of Somalia has now been about doubled than before, and it has completely controlled the east coast of Africa. In the strategic plan of the Far East Group, the next step is actually
Across the sea is the French territory of Madagascar.
So what method will Li Ningyu plan to use this time?
The Entente was an alliance of countries dominated by the three empires of Britain, France, and Tsarist Russia, and also included weak European countries such as Yugoslavia. The Central Powers were the opposing parties centered on Germany and Austria-Hungary. It is worth noting that although Italy was an Allied country
, but from time to time they joined forces with the Allied Powers to attack the Allied Powers. The main driving force behind this was the French Empire.
The French colonial empire actually succeeded in becoming the second largest colonial empire after the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets from the 17th century to the early 20th century. According to Li Ningyu’s memories, France, this huge empire, even
It completely collapsed in World War II, but until the 21st century, the French Empire still retained more than a hundred different islands and archipelagos distributed in the North Atlantic, Caribbean, Indian Ocean, South Pacific and North Pacific, as well as the French South and
The Antarctic territory has a total area of approximately 123,150 square kilometers.
Therefore, it is an opponent that the Far East Group will never take lightly. The rise of the French Empire can be traced back to the 16th century. With the French navigators Verrazzano and Cartier, they set out to open up new routes together.
Within more than ten years, these two French fishermen began sailing around Newfoundland, thus marking the beginning of the expansion of the French colony.
However, at that time, the Spanish Empire had a complete monopoly in North America, and in the late 16th century, the serious civil strife caused by the religious wars in France made it necessary for France to establish its own colonial empire. Therefore, the early French Empire
In this stage, we first set our sights on countries in South America.
It once attempted to use Brazil in South America as its first colony, and launched large-scale invasions of Rio de Janeiro and Saint Louis in 1555 and 1602. However, due to the alliance between Portugal and Spain at that time, they had long been wary of the French Empire, and
They also joined forces to stop it, which ultimately led to the failure of France's continuous aggression in two places and Florida and three places in North America.
But everything did not end like that. Instead, on July 27, 1605, the French Empire established a royal deep-water port in Nova Scotia, which once again unveiled the prelude to the first French colonial empire.
A few years later, the famous French ocean explorer Sam established Quebec City, and it became an overseas colony based on the fur trade, called New France (or Canada).
While France's first colonial empire was conquering cities and territories around the world, the French Empire did not forget to step up preparations for war and was ready to send troops to attack neighboring countries in Europe at any time. As time gradually passed to the mid-18th century, a series of rhythmic outbreaks began.
The Great Colonial Conflict unfolded completely between France and Britain, and in the end it almost led to the collapse of France's first colonial empire.
It was this series of conflicts that led to the War of Austrian Succession, the Seven Years' War, the American War of Independence, the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars.
Although in the end, the First French Colonial Empire lost in the War of the Austrian Succession and was forced to cede its colonies in India, and lost most of its colonies in the New World and overseas in the Seven Years' War, it did so during the American Revolutionary War.
, but took the initiative to mediate, allowing the First French Colonial Empire to recover some colonies in the Americas.
In addition, when the Great Revolution broke out in France, Napoleon began to gradually seize power and eventually became the emperor of the First French Empire. This led France to embark on the road of all-out foreign aggression and began to establish a huge colonial empire.
Napoleon was a legendary monarch. He was an outstanding military wizard in European history. He defended the fruitful achievements of the French Revolution. He promulgated the "Civil Code" of the French Empire, and this classic eventually became
The legislative blueprint of a capitalist country. During his more than ten years in power, the First French Empire made many comprehensive external expansions and gradually formed a huge imperial system. In the process, Napoleon created a series of military miracles.
However, any legendary and great monarch and military strategist cannot escape the fate of reincarnation. In the early nineteenth century, Napoleon passed away, and the all-out war between Britain and France began to come to an end. Subsequently, many French overseas colonies were all classified as British.
Especially in French Guiana on the northern coast of South America, and the trading posts established in Senegal, West Africa.
Therefore, if the French Empire wants to expand its colonies again, it must enter the next era, but it is the desire for these overseas colonies that has since opened the prelude to France's second colonial empire. The establishment of the second colonial empire is completely
Based on the French war of aggression against Algeria in 1830.
Although during the reign of French Emperor Napoleon III, there was originally an attempt to colonize Mexico in the name of a protectorate, it ultimately failed due to British intervention, forcing France to give up its attempt on Mexico and increase its
Then the July Revolution broke out in France, which lasted for two years.
In the following years, revolutions broke out frequently in France, and then a new regime was established, that is, the Second French Republic. However, the good times did not last long until the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. After that, France established the First Republic in September 1871.
Three Republics.
During the decades-long change of dynasties, France's national power began to gradually decline, so the ruling party launched a series of expansion plans. Among them, during the first Sino-French War, France gained power in South Asia.
