When you think about France today,
you usually think about this France, in Europe.
But France is actually all over the place,
like here in North America, here in the Caribbean, here in South America, here in the Indian Ocean, and over here in the Pacific Ocean.
18% of France's entire territory is actually located
in all of these places that aren't in Europe.
And the reason for that is because of empires.
You see, France used to be a much more outgoing country than it is today,
so they took over a bunch of places that aren't France.
Eventually, these non-French places decided that they were, in fact, not part of France,
and France let all of them go, except for these scattered places still left over today,
