The British colonised America and the French colonised Canada. The British beat the French out of Canada with the help of the Canadian native tribes and the American colonists. However, the American colonists then fought for their independence from Britain in the 1770s. The British were helped by the Native American Indians, but eventually the French helped the Americans and the British grated independence to America.
No single country colonised West Africa. West Africa is composed of a number of countries that were colonised by the French, British and Spanish
It was colonised first by the Ottoman's and then by the British.
The same as English: Vanuatu.
At one time or another, the British, French, Swedes, Dutch and Spanish had colonies in what is now the US.
Vanuatu is spelled the same way in French.
There are many French-speaking countries because of the historical influence of France through colonization, trade, and diplomacy. French was often imposed as the official language during colonization, leading to its widespread use in former colonies. Additionally, French culture and language have been promoted globally through international organizations like the Francophonie.
Vanuatu is a country, it doesn't belong to any country. It was colonised by both the French and the British, but is now independent. Oceania (previous answer) is a region, not a country. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceania) Oceania, it is a group of islands in the South Pacific Ocean, about three-quarters of the way from Hawaii to Australia (copy and pasted from this webbie lol > https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/print/nh.html

Western Australia was originally colonised to offset French interests in the western coast. By establishing settlements, the British were able to discourage French claims.
French is spoken in Vanuatu because it was a colonial territory of France from the late 19th century until the 1980s. The country gained independence in 1980, but French remained as one of the official languages due to its historical influence and presence in the education and administrative systems.
