Suppose France takes the Cape Colony- maybe a Cliveless world where they retain more of India and want it for the same reason as Britain did.
They're also somewhat stronger and richer because of this, so they can hold off the Brits.

This is a Catholic France, which doesn't go down well with the Boers; also the French don't want hostile settlements in the interior, so they take a stronger stance against the Trekboers; trying to block their moves inland

An alternative is offered- they're welcome to pull up stakes and move to the western part of New Holland. Plausibility?
