法帝国的瓦解另一历史大板块的分裂。英国建立海外大帝国的时候,法国也在建立海外大帝国。由于在“七年战争”(1756-1763)和“拿破仑战争”(1793-1815)中一再失败,法国被迫放弃北美和印度的主要殖民地。法国于是侵占非洲和亚洲(印度支那),建成一个仅次于大英帝国的第二大帝国。在美洲,1534年法国进入北美圣劳伦斯海湾,建立魁北克城(1609),蒙特利尔(1642),宣布新法兰西(加拿大)为法国殖民地(1683),后来都让给英国。1699年法国进入密西西比
The empire collapsed to disintegrate another large plate of history. When the United Kingdom established an overseas great empire, France was also building a great overseas empire. Repeated failures in the Seven Years War (1756-1763) and the Napoleonic Wars (1793-1815) forced France to relinquish the main colonies in North America and India. France then invaded Africa and Asia (Indochina), building a second empire after the British Empire. In the Americas, France entered the Gulf of St. Lawrence in North America in 1534, establishing the city of Québec (1609), Montreal (1642), proclaiming the new France (Canada) the French colony (1683) and later to the United Kingdom. France entered Mississippi in 1699
