	France Antarctique - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		France Antarctique was the name of the failed French colony south of the Equator, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which existed between 1555 and 1567, and had control over the coast from Rio de Janeiro to Cabo Frio.
		With a fleet of 26 warships and 2,000 soldiers, he attacked and destroyed Fort Coligny within three days, but was unable to drive off their inhabitants and defenders, because they escaped to the mainland with the help of the Indians, where they continued to live and to work.
		Largely in response to the two attempts of France to conquer territory in Brazil (the other one was named France Équinoxiale and occupied present-day São Luís, state of Maranhão), between 1612 and 1615, the Portuguese crown decided to expand its colonization efforts in Brazil.

	France Équinoxiale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An important difference in relation to France Antarctique is that this new colony was not motivated by escape from religious persecutions to Protestants (see French Wars of Religion).
		An army was assembled in the state of Pernambuco, under the command of Alexandre de Moura and Portugal was able to mount a military expedition, which defeated and expelled the French colonists in 1615, less than four years after their arrival in the land.
		Thus, it repeated the disaster spelt for the colonists of France Antarctique, in 1567.

		France Antarctique was the name of the failed French colony south of the Equator, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which existed between 1555 and 1567.
		However, the French crown failed to make good use of Villegaignon's exploits to expand the reach of the French kingdom into the New World, as it was being done at the time with the conquests of Jacques Cartier in the present-day province of Québec, Canada.
		Largely in response to the two attempts of France to conquer territory in Brazil (the other one was named France Équinoxiale and took place in present-day São Luís, state of Maranhão), between 1612 and 1615, the Portuguese crown decided to step up the colonization of Brazil and upgrade its status.

	The Oxonian Review of Books
		The equation is further complicated by the arrival of Protestants in the island, called by Villegagnon in the hope of reviving religious feelings among his decadent troops.
		The effect rendered is that of a progressive evolution from Villegagnon's idealistic humanism, his belief in reason and virtue tinged by chivalrous reminiscences and his faith in God, to pure hatred and self-destructive divisions and rivalries.
		Hence, nothing but the return to France or even better, the return to the original state of nature, can purge the colonists.
