Empire collapse:

During World War II, the French colonial empire gradually disintegrated, and most of it was occupied by other countries, such as Japanese occupation of Indian zhina, British occupation of Syrian, Lebanese and Madagascar, British and American joint occupation of Morocco and Algeria, and German occupation of Tunisia. But not long after, these colonies were recaptured by Charles de Gaulle.

However, after the Second World War, France suffered various decolonization movements. The successive independence of countries led to the rapid disintegration of the French colonial empire. For example, Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam finally got rid of French rule and established the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

Also, 1962, Algeria, France's largest colony, became independent. At present, there are many black players in the French national team, and some of them have immigrated from Algeria, such as Zidane.
