| | French colonies in North America, isolated from France by British domination of the seas, were left mostly to their own meager resources to carry out the French and Indian War. | | | This new trade route brought the French into sharper conflict with the British, whose colonists were seeking to claim the same areas. | | | France and its colonists and Indian allies fought against Britain, its colonists and Indian allies. |

| | So in this special case, the fact that the French were facing their own political crisis and the fact that by the time it was over the new government in Niger had become trusted in France was the cause for the lack of deployment of French troops to overturn the coup in Niger in 1974. | | | The French claimed that the Vice-President of Gabon enacted the French-Gabonese defense agreement and France had sent troops in under those auspices. | | | However, the answer is a simple one, the French were facing their own political crisis at the time. |

| | HOW NEWSPAPERS COVERED THE FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR - The Early America Review, Spring 1997 |
| | News of French deserters, captured French supply ships, and increasing numbers of Native American allied to the English printed in colonial newspapers no doubt helped bolster colonial assurances that the war would soon end,* as did reports that 14,000 English troops were assembled outside Montreal. | | | The French and their Indian allies had been successful from 1754-1756 in defeating the British colonists, creating the need for a wake-up call for Americans. | | | Readers learned of French forts from New Orleans to Canada, a network of Native American alliances with the French, and how difficult moving supplies into the region would be for British fighting units. |

| | French Colonial Empire - Introduction |
| | Where there prevailed long traditions of organized political life and a common culture, the French tended to rule indirectly through existing local authorities, as in Tunisia and Morocco. | | | French colonial imperialism survived World War I, but World War II led to its reorganization as the French Union, and finally to its dissolution — primarily as the result of the wars in Indochina and Algeria. | | | In 1763, at the end of the Seven Years' War, the French lost Canada and India to the British, and in 1803, Napoleon I sold the Louisiana Territory to the United States. |

| | Of course, when judging the success of a former colony, a lot of things come into play, and certainly the freed colony must take a substantial amount of responsibility for its own success and political freedom. | | | However, after a bit of research, it is instructive to see how well prepared for independence Britain, France, and the US left their colonies. | | | The French, in contrast, were still involved in bloody conflicts in Indochina and Algeria to retain their empire through the late 50's and even into the early 60's. |

| | This, however serious it may seem, would not be our only loss; it would drag after it that of the superiority which France must claim over England. | | | This is precisely the case of Canada: it cannot be denied that this Colony has been always a burthen to France, and it is probable that such will be the case for a long while; but it constitutes, at the same time, the strongest barrier that can be opposed to the ambition of the English. | | | Hence `twill be seen that this superiority of the French in America is in some sort accidental, and if they neglect to maintain it, whilst the English are making every effort to destroy it, `twill pass into the hands of the latter. |
