Bourbon Kingdom of France
Bourbon Kingdom of France brings together several realms, from 1815 to 1848. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1846, its lands covered about 856,842 km².
One of the realms of French Colonial Empire. France's first colonial empire began with Jacques Cartier's voyages to the St Lawrence in 1534 and grew into New France, a vast fur-trading realm reaching down the Mississippi to Louisiana, plus rich sugar islands such as Saint-Domingue worked by enslaved Africans. Defeat by Britain in 1763 cost Canada and most of India, the Haitian Revolution freed Saint-Domingue, and Napoleon sold Louisiana in 1803.
