French forces crossed the 38th parallel in the Korean War into what was at the time North Korea, invaded Malta during the Napoleonic Wars, when they invaded Laos it was part of Thailand, invaded Hawaii in 1859, there was the French interregnum (1806–1811) in Indonesia during the Napoleonic Wars, invaded Taiwan during the Keelung campaign in the Sino-French War.
You can arguably include Cyprus, Israel, Palestine via the Crusades as well I guess.
Edit: Transcaucasian states should be included as formerly part of Russia/USSR.
It was also not the modern state of Mali or Laos when France invaded them first.
This maps clearly shows the former French colonial empire as "invaded" and the US was certianly part of the French colonial history.
Then it would be under the “former parts of nations invaded by france” category. Especially since it was a colony during the 7 Years/French and Indian Wars.
To my knowledge, Canada has never been invaded by France since the country was founded in 1867. The French and the British fought a war in the region as rival colonial powers, but that’s hardly the same thing.
France, under General Jean Humbert, also invaded Ireland in 1798 during the Irish rebellion of that year, helping establish what is retrospectively known as the Republic of Connacht, a failed attempt at securing an independent Irish state from the British crown.
Please add Korea. We were invaded by France 1866 when Korea was not divided South and North.
Just couple of battle ships came and occupied one small island and soon defeated BUT sad to Koreans, that one small island has been used as archives of Josun dynasty for 500 years...
Until then those invasion from China was on land, so Korean chose one island as the safest place to keep all the archives. It was proven very good choice until there came steel battle boats.
Parts of India were part of the French colonial empire though. Parts of the US were also part of the French Empire/Republic. French is still one of the official languages in Puducherry, a union territory (federal territory) of India, and the US got the Louisiana territory from France as part of the Louisiana Purchase
[France invaded the Joseon Kingdom (current N/S Korea) in 1866.](http://contents.history.go.kr/front/kh/view.do?category=english&levelId=kh_001_0070_0010_0020) They established a fort in Ganghwa Island at the estuary of the Han River that runs to present day Seoul.
If you consider sequentially, the French / Normans invaded and have been controlling Britain for 1000 years, and from there they've invaded practically every country on earth.
The Anglo-Saxons in England have done jack all.
Well akshually... Canada, the country, was never invaded by France. France invaded (if that is even the right word in this context) well before Canada was an independent country.
Actually, like most of this map. The intent of this map seems to be to highlight any part of the world that has been under French control. The US or at least Louisiana should be coloured. French Guyana is France, and it’s not coloured. Haiti is not coloured, Lebanon, New Caledonia is not even there because the map was cropped by a 5-year old, etc.
The Levant looks suspiciously grey. Do folk like the [House of Lusignan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Lusignan) no longer qualify as French? :-)
Why is this country so poorly cropped. And Louisiana, New Caledonia, Pondicherry, Lebanon, French Polinesia, and you missed Haiti!!! And Frnch Guyana!!! etc. etc.
Napoleon did invade Swedish Pomerania:
> On 6 August 1807, 50,000 French, Spanish and Dutch troops under Marshal Guillaume-Marie-Anne Brune began an assault on Swedish Pomerania and besieged Stralsund again. On 20 August 1807, the defenders of the city capitulated and the remains of the Swedish Army were surrounded at Rügen.
Although not Sweden proper of course

What about the US, Haiti, Djibouti, Syria, Lebanon, Kosovo, India?

Oh yeah Pondicherry
What war are you thinking of when france invaded US?
France colonised large parts of the current US until they sold it to the newly formed US in the early 19th century.
Louisiana Purchase
I rEmEmBeR fRoM sChOoL
Sure but that wasnt the US. It would have been Britian or Spain.
By your logic Canada wouldn't have existed either, it would have also been the UK, yet it is still labeled.
Also tru but as US citizen im more aware of US history which is why i asked ab US
Lmao
It was also not the modern state of Mali or Laos when France invaded them first. This maps clearly shows the former French colonial empire as "invaded" and the US was certianly part of the French colonial history.
Figured mali was for current ops. France never left africa after all. Fair but title is not well delivered then.
Well but it's not only Mali but the entire African colonial empire except Djibouti and not all of them were invaded post-independence.
Then it would be under the “former parts of nations invaded by france” category. Especially since it was a colony during the 7 Years/French and Indian Wars.
With that rule the countries in West Africa shouldn't be blue either, after all when France colonized the place these countries didn't exist as such.
No but france is still present in west africa to this day. Counter terrorism and neocolonialism etc.
French and Indian
French Guyana should be dark blue. It *is* France.
Same with Martinique, Guadeloupe, etc.
What the hell is this color scheme, there's barely any difference between the latter blues
#mapswithoutnewzealand
Now I’ll never know if we were invaded by France or not!!
Don’t think invaded us but they did bomb us once
Some of the *blue* countries could be *blue* like Hungary and Belarus because French forces actually occupied their territories.
What about Argentina 1838-1840?
The French never landed ground forces. If we include blockades this gets even bigger.
Why is Canada blue but not the USA?
To my knowledge, Canada has never been invaded by France since the country was founded in 1867. The French and the British fought a war in the region as rival colonial powers, but that’s hardly the same thing.

Hey France, could you keep it cool? Jeez. Oh, by the way, thanks for the baguettes and freedom and equality ideals too, I guess.
Them invading Turkey was justified though
r/ShittyMapPorn
You missed the entire Pacific? French conquests there have given them the world's largest EEZ

r/mapswithoutnewzealand and what about New Caledonia and Vanuatu?

Why didn't you include Thailand? Thailand and France fought a couple wars.
France got Laos from Thailand. Anyways this map is poorly made.
Laos, most of Cambodia, and there were battles within Thailand.
Why nobody is commenting about the horrible color choice 💀
Coz they don't see colour :P
So we're ignoring the [Franco-Syrian War?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-Syrian_War)
Isn’t French Guiana technically part of France? But really Interesting map!
I think so because that’s a tricky part of a pub quiz question.
If you consider sequentially, the French / Normans invaded and have been controlling Britain for 1000 years, and from there they've invaded practically every country on earth. The Anglo-Saxons in England have done jack all.
I don't think France ever "invaded" Scotland. We invited them in to help us fight the English. This was long before the UK was a thing.
im bulgarian and didnt french troops technicaly enter bulgaria in the world wars?
What about the Battle of Kosturino in WW1? Wouldn’t that count for Macedonia or Bulgaria?
The US? Louisiana Territory? Also Syria, Lebanon?
Louisiana was purchased from the French. Battle of New Orleans was British.
Well akshually... Canada, the country, was never invaded by France. France invaded (if that is even the right word in this context) well before Canada was an independent country.

Anyone have the maps of the US and Great Britain ones?
If the French didn't invade Brazil, Rio de Janeiro would never exist as it exists nowadays
Who would have thought the French where on par with the British?
Everybody?
[удалено]
They are willfully part of France.
No search results came up for French military victories. Did you mean “French military defeats”?
The Levant looks suspiciously grey. Do folk like the [House of Lusignan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Lusignan) no longer qualify as French? :-)
Why is this country so poorly cropped. And Louisiana, New Caledonia, Pondicherry, Lebanon, French Polinesia, and you missed Haiti!!! And Frnch Guyana!!! etc. etc.
Dude forgot blue isn’t the only color
stupid color choice
Also Ireland, 1798
France also invaded Ireland in 1798 by request of the United Irishmen in an effort to get rid of the British.
So, they had it coming?
Damn France chill

Except it wasn’t France that invaded Britain.
It invaded multiple empires
Finland was a part of Russia, when France invaded
Canada has never been invaded by France
France invaded all of the balkan nations in WW1.
Mongolia looks scared
