Answer:
The number that indicates the area claimed by France is 1. This area was part of a French colony named New France.
Explanation:
New France was a French colony in North America. Its territory comprised from Hudson Bay in the north to the Gulf of Mexico in the south. It included the St. Lawrence River and the Mississippi River Basin. It was divided into four regions: Canada, Arcadia, Newfoundland and Louisiana.
By the middle of the 18th century, French settlements had a population of about 70,000 people, while about 1.6 million people lived in British colonies. After the end of the Seven Years War in 1763, the United Kingdom took over the northwestern part of New France, which was incorporated into Canada in 1867, and the French Louisiana territory was sold to the United States in 1803.
