The history of the French Empire is Caribbean history, North American history, the history of North Africa and the Middle East, West African history, Southeast Asian history, South Pacific islands history, and more, as well as the history of France. From the plantation colonialism of the 18th century to the remnants of empire that ring the globe today, French imperialism was always a unique combination of ‘piety, pugnacity, and greed,’ as much the making of missionaries and fantasy-oriented soldiers as capitalists. Combination of lecture and discussion. French language readings available for students with appropriate proficiency.
