  • When you think about France today,

  • you usually think about this France, in Europe.

  • But France is actually all over the place,

  • like here in North America, here in the Caribbean, here in South America, here in the Indian Ocean, and over here in the Pacific Ocean.

  • 18% of France's entire territory is actually located

  • in all of these places that aren't in Europe.

  • And the reason for that is because of empires.

  • You see, France used to be a much more outgoing country than it is today,

  • so they took over a bunch of places that aren't France.

  • Eventually, these non-French places decided that they were, in fact, not part of France,

  • and France let all of them go, except for these scattered places still left over today,
