French Second Republic
French Second Republic appears on the map from 1848 to 1852. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1849, it covered about 629,765 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.
