Nice quiz, but a large portion of Europe formed part of the French Empire under Napoleon. Going back in time the UK (England) could arguably also be seen to be part of the French Empire as the Normans were vassals of the French king (I know that is opening a can of worms though!) That being said, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Germany, Croatia, Slovenia and others all formed part of the French Empire.

Nice quiz.
