The French Union ((フランス語:Union française)) was a political entity created by the French Fourth Republic to replace the old French colonial system, the "French Empire" (''Empire Français''). It was the formal end of the "indigenous" (''indigène'') status of French subjects in colonial areas. ==Composition== Frederick Cooper, historian of Africa and professor at New York University, writes that the French Union had six components: # "European France, divided into departments; # 'Old' colonies, notably those of the Caribbean that became departments in 1946, plus the enclaves of Senegal (the ''Quatre Communes''), whose inhabitants were citizens; # 'New' colonies, including most of French Africa, renamed overseas territories, whose inhabitants were mostly subjects; # Algeria, whose territory was integral to the French Republic but whose people were divided into citizens, mostly of European origin, and subjects with diminished civil and political rights, the category into which most Muslim Algerians fell; # Protectorates, which had come under French rule by treaty, which had their own nationalities, and whose rulers were considered sovereign, including Morocco, Tunisia, and most of Indochina; # Mandates, such as Cameroon and Togo, which were inherited by the UN from the League of Nations, and which France ruled as a trustee, not a sovereign, and which could potentially acquire their own nationalities."〔"Alternatives to Nationalism in French West Africa, 1945-60."
