Summary/Abstract: The 34th chapter of François Reynaert’s book “Our Ancestors the Gauls and Other Drivels. French History without the clichés” describes the main stages of colonisation and the French part in the race between European forces. The French colonial obsession started right after the Great Geographical Discoveries and took up with renewed vigour and pandemic enthusiasm in the beginning of the 19th c. before reaching its apogee in the 30s of the 20th c. The author denounces the myth of the Glorious French Empire of the late 19th and the early 20th c. – a myth fed up by nationalistic inducements. Reynaert does not spare the truth about exploitation, crimes, racism and inhumane politics, which went along with the tremendous expansion of the French colonial possessions at the time.
