French Falklands (Port Saint-Louis)

French Falklands (Port Saint-Louis) was a colony in Southern Cone (South America) that lasted from 1764 to 1767 CE, about 3 years. The timeline colours it by the language of its rulers: Latin and Romance (Latin, Italic, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Romanian).

Louis Antoine de Bougainville founded Port Saint-Louis on East Falkland in 1764, the first settlement on islands that were uninhabited when Europeans found them. Spain compensated Bougainville and took over the settlement on 1 April 1767.
