French Crown Dominions and Dependencies (Think Before You Act)

There are currently twenty French Dominions and Dependencies of France. French Dominions consist of French Mexico, French Brazil, French Peru, French Colombia, French Congo, French Tanzania, French West Africa, French Egypt, French Algeria, French Libya, French Madagascar, French Tunisia, French Morocco, French Southeast Asia, French East Indies, and French Arabia. Dominions are autonomous polities that were under French control. Dominions often have the power of self-rule and representation in the French parliment. Dependencies, on the other hand, are autonomous and have self rule just like Dominions, yet they do not have representation in parliment They consist of French Carribean Islands, French Pacific Islands, French Indian Ocean Islands, and the French South Atlantic

In 1930, the Imperial Dominion Act led to the existence of Dominions. The aim of the act was so that France could prevent the independence of her territories and still be able to hold on to them. Other benefits including allowing other ethnicities to hold positions in society, government, and the economy, allow them to have their own militias (though size is limited by the French), and be able to establish their own parliments, replacing the colonial government.
