THE POLICY OF FRENCH COLONIAL EXPANSION
French Colonial Expansion is a policy of accumulating the economic and political blend
in France. It was connected by the three sets of ideas: Economic ideas, the most far-reaching
ideas of civilization and the ideas of a political and patriotic sort (Ferry, 1884). The industrial
rebellion was not simply an instance of immense progression for the western countries but was
uniformly upsetting for the European countries, particularly that of France.
The argument that Jules Ferry has evolved is the supporting manner for the native
country by providing securities in economic, civilized and political view. For the Asian and
African countries, the colonial expression is the developing natures of the most of the
underdeveloped areas are found here. Colonial education expansion is the right way to develop
and educate these countries people and justify their people existence (Furnivall, 2014). The view
of the argument also justifies the national defense structure and elaborates the strategies of
military and naval force of the country (Bancel, Blanchard & Thomas, 2017). Instead, the duty
entails liberality and honesty and consequently is a resource of humanizing the lives of the
inferior races, instead of abusing them. This theoretical obligation made colonization of the
African countries appear like the dignified obsession to do and that is the real concern for the
country (Whiteman, 2017). It was for the reason that the United States and Germany had place
trade barriers. The Markets of France weren't the only attenuation but being taken over by "great
states" (Ferry, 1884). Colonial institutions are deliberated to be a central determinate of post-
independence levels of supporting immovability, profitable development, and communal
supplies stipulation. Consequences for urban areas and centrally-provided community
merchandise demonstrate no such outcome, signifying that post-independence policies also play
a position in influential outcomes (Christelow, 2014). In this demonstrative analysis, the main
discussion point is also highlighted by the higher race and lower race of people. In this civilized

face of colonial expression, the overture of slavery and the generosity are the grandeur of the
civilizing duty. The consideration of supply of coal, high seas wreck, and defense provisioning
all these is constituted by the naval and military service of the country (Bancel, Blanchard &
Thomas, 2017). Colonial intervention is also recommended as the improvement of their service
quality which is simply a defense strengthens policy for the nation (Ferry, 1884).
Therefore it can be concluded that accommodation of French colonies and the slave trade
policies are the elimination issue that holds back a creative impact on the French empowerment.
The growing nation and the most striking part of the colonial understanding are important for the
nation to mitigate the violence over the colonies and provide the good amount of consideration to
the nation. When one considers that the Algerian Sahara was a regal boundary that France only
engaged incrementally over a phase of fifty years, this disagreement is less intrepid than the
more noteworthy points driven in every of the book’s four parts. Thus, colonization and the
education influence are important and relevant for the standardization of France and their
revolution.
