In 1900, France controlled a vast colonial empire that included around 30 colonies spread across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and the Pacific. Notable territories included Algeria, parts of West Africa, Indochina (modern-day Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia), and several islands in the Caribbean and the Pacific. The French colonial empire was one of the largest in the world at that time, reflecting France's global ambitions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The French tried to re-establish their colonial empire.
As a colonial power, France ranked second only to England. In 1939 the French colonial empire included: A. In Africa, Algeria, Tunisia, French Morocco, French West Africa, French Equatorial West Africa, French Cameroon, French Togoland, French Somalia, and Madagascar; B. In the Middle East, Lebanon, Syria; and C. In the Far east, the Indo Chinese States of Vietnam, Cambodia, & Laos; and D. In the Americas, French Guiana, and Haiti.
The French language originated in France. It gradually spread through colonization, trade, and cultural influence to other parts of the world, particularly in regions that were once part of the French colonial empire.
Algeria, then a French colony, entered World War I primarily due to its status as part of the French Empire. The French government mobilized colonial resources and troops to support the war effort, drawing on Algeria's manpower and economic resources. Many Algerians were conscripted into the French Army, while others contributed through labor and supplies. Their involvement was largely driven by colonial obligations rather than a direct choice to participate in the conflict.
Great Britain, by far. At its height, the British empire covered almost 37 million km2 and held sway over nearly 460 million people in the early 20th century. The Spanish Empire at its height in the 18th century was around 20 million km2, and the French colonial empire reached an area of 12.5 million km2. As you can see, the British empire was the largest colonial empire in history, and in fact, the largest empire of any kind in the history of the world. The only other empire that came close to being as large as the British Empire was actually the Mongol empire, which reached an area of 33.2 million km2 by the mid 13th century.
In 1914, France had a significant colonial empire, comprising approximately 11 million square kilometers of territory and around 50 million inhabitants. Key colonies included Algeria, Senegal, Indochina, Madagascar, and several territories in the Caribbean and the Pacific. This extensive empire made France one of the largest colonial powers in the world at that time.

The Britsh Empire was - relatively speaking and only in comparison with other colonial Empires - the largest Empire in the world, between 1895 and 1948. But that did not mean that it ruled over the majority of all the territory in the world.
