It’s the ONLY colony where actual Fr*nch people immigrated, settled and actually built a society instead of pillaging the land and wasting it on wars with Germany/UK. Why?
>>541574411I hate the place more than anywhere on earth and I have French ancestry going back to the early1600s in Canada. there are 2 types of French.1 French Canadians we spread everywhere and mixed with the Huron and other Indians 2 Quebecersevil wicked spawn of gutter whores the king of France sent here
>>541574411I guess it wasn’t that bad to live in France back then. The more important question is why so many germans fled to the usa during the 19th century?
>>541574411>French people built the society in Quebec Lol. Lmao even. Without the anglos it’d be Haiti tier.
>>541574411Quebecans are based. They probably hate Canada more than Trump does.
>>541577053would you rather live in a shed in a city in Europe or have a huge ass log house and 100 acres for free?
>>541577053Napoleon probably
>>541574411If you mean mass migration it's because France is a fine country to live in so only a few adventurers doing it for the lulz even thought about trading it for some other continent in a shithole state. Perhasp they did move out in the middle ages because the opportunity were just next door which isn't the same as settling in straya or leafland. Meanwhile modern Brits were stuck on a rainy island with slags and state enforced no-fun-allowed puritan protestantism. It's the same thing today btw. A few others European countries (including France) barely move out because they are it's hard to trade up even with the new diversity, and half of thoe moving out go to Switerland for business reasons. The Spaniards only moved in large numbers in the 16-18th centuries because of specific conditions of the day such as their retarded family laws making half the men into poor incels so they went on the boats to rawdog amerindian pussy, they also don't move out anymore. Same with Scandinavia which moved out at large rates when they were shitholes (up to the early 20th century) but have since been some of the least likely to move out since. >Germany/UKGermany and England are the two main historical French colonial empires. This is true both racally, lingusitically, in terms of laws, institutions, cultural forms, etc. To a considerably lesser exteant the centuries of control of Levant and Greece. I assume you mostly mean the meme 19-20th centuries empires for map painting roleplay. We actually pillaged stuff and made money out of it (although jeets extend it to the six gogolplex rupies we supposedly owe them). The 19-20th French colonial empires were a money sink for all their duration, with gigantic net outflow of capital to build things there that ended up never paying for themselves, but they ddi have some numbers in Algeria, because it was next door.
>>541574411It wasn't the only colony where people migrated.France had a very different policy toward its colonies than the UK, so all its colonies were comparatively low population ("I will not depopulate France to the benefit of another country.") At the time of the conquest there were only ~15k in the territories gained, in comparison to 300k+ in the New England colonies. The population boom came after, in part because Elgin recommended to the Queen to softly assimilate the French-Canadians by replacing their religion and language, to which the Church said fuck that, and then pushed French-Canadians into the biggest sustained population growth in recorded history, with about 15 millions descendants of those 15k settlers (more than half of which are now in the US).
>>541577207I guess its fine if your bad impression of French-Canadians comes from contact with Cajuns and Quebeckers in Florida, but just so you know, in the French-Canadian social pecking order, floridian snowbirds are generally considered lower lifeforms than everything except the lowest of anglo-montrealer. If you don't enjoy suffering the winter like the rest of us you aren't Quebecois.
Wrong. There is a french mexican city too. https://youtu.be/vSszaVMqi0E?si=mILopNCQcqTq2-uy
>>541578465This is why North American French are hilariously inbred. Pur linge indeed. If you know, you know.
>>541576841my grandpa used to spit at the tv when rene levesque was speaking that frenchman hated kebecers with the fury of 1000 suns it was hilarious
Typically, European farmers only wanted to move overseas if they could apply their form of agriculture there. A Picard wheat farmer or some vintner from Bordeaux isn't going to (voluntarily) set up shop in some subarctic forest where the summers pass by in the blink of an eye.
>>541577428Europa was french clay in that age.
>>541578425In the 1500s to 1700s Sweden was reasonably well off by buying timber from Finland (east Sweden) and refining it. Pine tar was big money and was bought by the navies of england and holland. Then Swden lost Finland and gained Norway, the tar economy broke down, causing poverty in rural areas. As a consequence many swedes and finns fucked off to america. Many norwegians also didn't like being ruled by Sweden and also fucked off to america.
