C. Midwest and Eastern Canada

Explanation:

During the 17th and 18th centuries, France established colonies in North America, New France (the St. Lawrence River valley), Louisiana and the Caribbean islands. It lost New France in the war against the United Kingdom in 1763, and sold Napoleon to Louisiana in 1803 to the United States. In the 19th century, France created a large colonial empire in Africa, Asia (Indochina), and the Pacific Islands.
