Talk:French Empire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spain????????????????????

Because of the first french empire

Mexico was a puppet state during the maximilian rules it should be in blue and Newfoundland was part of New France

[edit] Second Map is quite wrong

The map in the article (Image:French Empires.png) is quite wrong, since it includes Spain and Portugal (and probably others) as part of the French Empire. Portugal and Spain were never part of any French Empire! They were countries briefly and non-completely occupied by Napoleonic forces in the begining of the 19th century. Being partially occupied is not the some as being part of an Empire. Both Spain and Portugal never stoped being independent and were never considered, even by France as a part of France or a colony! I'm removing this map and placing a correct one. The Ogre (talk) 23:16, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
