Everyone knows that the French, in the 19th and 18th centuries, colonized many parts of the world, including Quebec, Louisiana, Algeria, the Caribbean, a tiny spot in South America, a large chunk of Africa, and Indochina. What are some areas in the world that the French could have colonized as well, because of their own interests, or just places that would have made sense for the French to colonize? Although, my question excludes India and Australia- the French did colonize India, but the British were too strong there, and they wanted to colonize Australia, but unfortunate circumstances led to it not happening. Besides these 2 areas, what were some other places the French would have most likely colonized? Thanks!
