Well, I was only referring to countries that had been ruled by Britain. Parts of France were (after all, English Kings used the style 'King of England & France, & Lord of Ireland' until the accession of James I, & Henry VI had been crowned King of France in Paris), but it was back when England herself was one of 3 nations in the British Isles (Wales had been controlled by England for awhile). Both England & France were nation-building, & English rule of part of France was part of that country growing a pair & booting England out under Joan of Arc. The point is that France didn't get colonised like say, India. When the English left, they hadn't radically changed French government, culture, or language like they did in Canada, Australia, etc.
