French colonial governors

French colonial governors were official leaders appointed by France to administer its overseas territories. They acted as the central authority, implementing policies, maintaining order, and overseeing local officials. Their role included managing political, economic, and security matters, often coordinating with local leaders or colonial settlers. These governors served as intermediaries between the French government and the colonies, ensuring that France’s interests and directives were enforced. Their authority varied depending on the colony and period, but overall, they played a crucial role in maintaining French control over its colonial possessions.
