C) France
Explanation:
- The true history of French colonialism begins on July 27, 1605 with the establishment of Port Royal in the Acadia colony in North America (present-day Nova Scotia in Canada).
- Three years later, in 1608, Samuel de Champlain founded Quebec, which would become the center of a huge colony called New France (present-day Canada).
- The French territory in North America expanded further in 1699 with the founding of Louisiana. As the French empire spread in North America, the French began to create a smaller but much more profitable colonial empire in the Caribbean. Colonization of the area of present-day French Guiana began in 1624, and in 1627 a colony was established on the island of St. Kitts. In 1635 colonies were established in Guadeloupe and Martinique, and in 1650 on the island of Saint Lucia.
- Food plantations in these colonies were built and maintained with the help of African slaves. The most important colony in the Caribbean was created in 1664 (Santo Domingo - present-day Haiti). In the 18th century, Santo Domingo became the colony that was the richest in the Caribbean.
