    You didn't take two things into account:

    - France hold several concessions in China.

      @megafaune75 Bon,j'ai fait une sortie récemment au parlement européen (Strasbourg)et je le permet de donner une liste non exhaustive des qualités de l'Europe que ces gens m'ont donné.
      -L'europe a la meilleure économie du monde,avec un total de 19 trillions de dollars par ans on surpasse les USA,les échanges en Europe sont les plus intenses et tout sorte de produits sont faits (ce qui nous rend autonome à moyen terme).
      -Les droits fondamental de l'homme sont protégées (on l'oublie souvent mais notre déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen sont encrée dans la constitution de l'UE).
      Le voyage est bien moins chère et plus accessible avec l'espace Schengen.
      l'UE nous permet de faire la transition énergétique (bon ça c'est assez controversé je l'avoue,mais y'a du progrès).
      On a bien plus d'influence dans le monde(Dans quasiment tout les domaines l'UE permet de nous avancé)
      Et enfin,le plus important d'après moi,la paix durable depuis plus de 60 ans.
      Après tu as raison, l'UE a encore de gros problème,genre la migration, l'indépendance des pays membres dans le domaine juridique notamment (genre ça saoule de voir que l'UE nous fait des lois où nous infligeant)les inégalites etc..

    The province of Quebec wasn't mentioned enough in this video and especially montreal being one of the largest citites in the new french empire. I don't think the course of history would have changed alot in regards to the french territories in the united states but Canada as whole could have possibly been part of france if history had happened slightly differently. Just France and Canada alone and the economic output and natural resources combined would have made france alot stronger than mentioned in this video as well as the population added by africa, vietnam and india. If france had not been under civil war at the time it would have held on to Canada and more than likely would have conquered the united states since france was in fact a stronger country at that moment in time. If not, Canada would definately be stronger and have a greater population than it is today.

Old Mines (La Vieille Mine), an unincorporated community in southeast Missouri will be part of the Illinois Country of New France again. Missouri French or Paw-Paw French will no longer be highly endangered. It has only a few elderly native speakers living in or around Old Mines, Missouri.

Of the 185 battles that France has fought over the past 800 years, its armies will have won 132 of them, and lost 43, leaving only 10 battles undecided, giving the French military the record for victories in Europe.
    - The French did not give up in 1940, the government did, and like many other European countries in fact.
    As proof, in 1940 during the battle of Dunkirk, the French fought against the German advance and sacrificed themselves for the British who really fled like cowards to their island, they then bombed France and the French for 4 years and today spit on us by calling us cowards on the internet, funny.
    - France refused to go to war in Iraq in 2003 for oil, so the United States undertook a global propaganda especially with the beginnings of the Internet, with Google, sites like "4Chan", in Hollywood movies even and thus were able to propagate all these stereotypes, the United States are real enemies.

It’s not the people of Britains fault that you were getting invaded and we didn’t want to loose our life’s for your country. Not wanting to loose their life’s doesn’t make them cowards when they had family at home and it was not their country that was getting invaded. And we weren’t bombing your country to kill french people, we were bombing your country to drive Nazi soldiers out. And then we regrouped and reinforced our army with soldiers throughout our empire and citizens. And got help from our allies to push the the German oppressors back out of your country and the rest of Europe twice, sacrificing our people to save and reinstate your country and others throughout Europe. So if anything you should be grateful. Cause if we really wanted to we and the USA could have just taken over your country after the war had finished and make it a part of our empires.

      Michael Ball the average world income is about 10,000$ even with the poorest state of Mississippi the median average in Mississippi is 40,000$ that’s way more and just because a couple of states have high income other states still contribute for example North Dakota isn’t that rich compared to the other states but still supplies a lot of oil and yes Germany as more wealth equality but isn’t as rich the average median income for a US citizen is 63,000$ while for German citizens it’s 43,000 what this suggest is that you can have places with wealth inequality and people on average are richer but places with low wealth inequality are poorer.
