I was chatting with a Brazilian friend earlier, and come to talk about the french failed colonisation attempts in Brazil during the XVIth Century, which he never heard about : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France_Antarctique?wprov=sfla1
He wondered what it would be looking like nowadays, and I told him unfortunately my knowledge of colonial societies was too thin to give him even theories.
I am looking for some input of the well-informed people of this forum
My questions are :
- What POD would make it possible for a lasting existence of a french-founded Brazil ? It doesn't have to encompass all of nowadays-Brazil, but a sizeable part at least, half of it being the minimum.
-How would that French-Brazil evolve over the time, and how could its society look like nowadays?
-How would that affect France in return?
