Best Answer

The French had the largest quantity of land than any other single European nation. They controlled most of what is today Canada, and the territory known as the Louisiana territory which spread from the Mississippi river to the Rocky Mountains. Eventually the French would lose much of their Canadian territories to the British, and would sell the Louisiana territory to the Young Nation of the United States of America in the Louisiana purchase.
