You miss Slovenia and Croatia. Both belonged to France under Napoleon and were called Illyrian Provinces. They also have portions of present-day Austria, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Montenegro.
Moreover, South Sudan must figure in the list after the Fashoda incident in 1898.
Thanks. I checked the Illyrian Provinces and included Slovenia and Croatia. I'm not sure how I missed it. A simple map check should've told me. The Fashoda incident wasn't a military incident -- they turned back when told to by the British. The start of the modern French military reputation I suppose.
(I deleted a comment recommending South Sudan/ Fashoda). But don't be flippant about the French military and their historical reputation, please - I've visited the cemetery at Verdun and there are 162,000 people lying there who would beg to differ.
Moreover, South Sudan must figure in the list after the Fashoda incident in 1898.
