Perhaps the most important factor that allowed France to join the 'scramble' of New World colonization in the Age of Discovery was the 1598 Edict of Nantes. Establishing a real if also shaky peace after years of war in France between Catholics and Protestants, the Edict was followed by the establishment of a variety of French colonies in the Americas -- and daring explorations of as yet uncolonized portions of the New World.
