"The backyard of France" turned out to be Africa. Why is it so influential in Africa?

Because they are two complementary countries, France has the greatest influence on France, and Africa has very, very deep feelings for France.

France and Africa are neighbors across the sea and have close contacts. At that time, Europe highly respected colonial aggression, and many countries adopted the strategy of external expansion, and France was no exception. In order to become a powerful country, Africa, which is only separated by a sea, first became the colonial destination of the French.

The French, based in Algeria, are constantly expanding into the interior of Africa. There is not much difference between France and the native countries in Africa. It not only appoints local officials, but also vigorously promotes French and French culture. France also immigrated to Africa in large numbers.

Because these colonies are well managed by the French government, unlike other countries that treat them in a squeezing way, African people are very loyal to France.

Their attitude towards France has never changed, and even after the defeat in World War II, they are as loyal as ever. Due to France's long-term management of Africa, most of Africa's economy and politics are also based on France, and more than half of Africans can speak French.

France should not only manage Africa, but also open many military bases in Africa. Africa seems to be the backyard of France, where it does whatever it wants, and Africa is used to France. You can think of your boss France for good and bad things.

France also knows the importance of Africa to its own country. When something happens in Africa, France will also fully support Africa. The relationship between the two sides is somewhat special, but the two countries complement each other and achieve each other.
