When finding information about the French colonization of the Americas, I chose the online version of the Britannica Encyclopedia. This source was about a page long and contained information only on the French colonies in America, Not British or Dutch colonies. I found this source to be very helpful and factual, providing a basic and complete summary of France's expansion of the Americas. This source went into detail about each colony that France obtained in the Americas, including the Caribbean Islands. I particularly liked how the source explained how France obtained these colonies in America, and then how they eventually lost all of them. All in all I found the Encyclopedia Britannica online to be a very good source. | When finding information about the French colonization of the Americas, I chose the online version of the Britannica Encyclopedia.
