The narrative chronicles France's extensive influence as a global power over five centuries, highlighting its explorers, traders, and soldiers who established colonies worldwide. Key figures such as Cartier and Champlain are featured alongside significant events, including the establishment of trading companies and conflicts with rival nations. The story also addresses the complexities of France's empire, including its struggles in Vietnam and Algeria post-World War II, and the impact of the slave trade and colonial losses, particularly in St. Domingue.
