hello
searching something in the forum I come across this old thread
Colombia?
not really a big french colony, around 500 French citizens in the years 30
France was more a country of immigration than emigration
about the ~half-million French citizens abroad in the years 1930' they were mainly concentrated
-in (mostly Western) Europe (c.41.5%)
-United States (c.23,5%) (North America 27,7%)
-Latin América (c.22%)
-rest of World (8,8%)
the strongest french immigration/emigration (depending on what side you see) in Latin America was historically and traditionaly to Argentina, in lesser degree Mexico and Brazil
French citizens abroad, first 10 countries >10 000 (1931 census)
first 4 countries concentrate 60% of them
-United States 127 000
-Argentina and Belgium 80 000
-Switzerland 40 000
-Canada 21 000
-Spain 20 000
-Great Britain 16 000 (23 000 with Channel Islands)
-Egypt 18 000
-Brazil 14 000
-Germany 13 000 (20 000 with Sarre but evacuated in 1935)
