By 1914 France had amassed over ten million square kilometres, and 60 million people including the colonies of Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, the colony in S.E. Asia known as Indochina and a vast block of West Africa.

The author describes in detail the physical struggles between the colonies and their rules and the subsequent demise of the Empire.
