Franceball.
The Kingdom of Franceball was a historical countryball located in Europe and the predecessor of
Franceball.
It became a constitutional monarchy in 1790 and then a
republic in 1792. Later it became the
First French Empireball to propagate its new ideas and make some conquests.
History[edit]
Since Louis divided the Franksball in the wrong way, the lands of the
Franks were divided into three.
Franceball was the westernmost one. Apart from several invasions from the
Vikings, nothing really happened until
William conquered
Englandball. Then, the
English started marrying into
French duchies and getting
unions.
The French had a tiny amount of land, but Philip the Second changed that. He took almost the entirety of
Angevin France from the incompetent John Lackland, and by the end of his rule in 1223, the
English had only half of the
Duchy of Aquitaine. The conflict stopped when the two powers signed the Treaty of Paris in 1259.
The English wanted to control
France, so they declared war in 1337. Although the initial part of the war was successful for
England, A farm girl destroyed their armies. They burned her, but it was too late for them to change the war around and in 1453 they stopped fighting. That is the same year that
Ottoman Empireball captured
Constantinople.
Later, the Spanish Empireball found the new world in 1492, and the French invested in it as well. It also became allies with
Ottoman Empireball because they both hated the
Habsburgball. The
French built up colonies in North America. They participated in the war of the
Spanish Succession (1701-1714) and the
Austrian succession (1741-1746), which weakened them, and lead to defeat in the Seven Years War.
They lost all of their colonies in mainland North America in that conflict. In revenge, they and the Spanish sent lots of money to the rebelling USAball in the
American Revolution. They even got beaten by the
British in
India and lost most of their colonies there. By 1789, there was a famine, and a financial crisis, so people revolted and the
Kingdom of Franceball died and it was replaced by the
French Republicball.
It was revived as Bourbon Restorationball after
Napoleon was exiled to Elba in 1814 (after the Treaty of Paris), later replaced by another
French Empire in 1815. He came back in another Treaty of Paris in 1815, then stayed for a while but he died again in 1830 and was replaced by the
July Monarchyball. (Due to their flag being blank in Polandball comics & anything in general, they are sometimes made fun of as surrender.)

Drawing Kingdom of France is simple:
