who hurted the France empire and why?
Great Britain gained control of much of Southern Africa during the 1800's
France had most of northwest Africa, and Madagascar. This territory was acquired between 1684 and 1898, most during the Scramble for Africa (1881-1914).
Germany conquered France in 1940, but didn't occupy all of it; "Unoccupied France" was a German "puppet" state ruled from the city of Vichy, France. Vichy controlled the remainder of France as well as some of the French colonies in North Africa, such as Casablanca.
During the sixteenth and seventeenth century France and Spain fought for control of Italy.
During the Age of Imperialsim (circa 1700), Germany had relatively little impact on European colonialism that was spreading at the time.They did, however, manage to secure small footholds in Africa and the Caribbean, namely Ghana (Africa) and Tertholen (Caribbean).

During World War 2, Algeria was still a colony of France and thus a part of the Allied Powers at the war's outbreak. Upon France's defeat to the Nazis, Algeria came under control of Germany and Vichy France. They were liberating during Operation Torch, along with the rest of North Africa, and thereafter contributed substantially to the Allied war effort.
