    France was a late player in the settling game of the New World. During the 1500s it was ravaged by wars and internal conflict, most of these were caused from the Roman Catholics at odds with the Protestant Huguenots. Also, once the colonies were created settlers did not stay, many either came home or never trekked out into the wild. There were very few reasons to travel to the colonies for the French. This is because the colonial government was under direct rule of the crown. The one gain that could be obtained by immigrating to the colonies was religious freedom. However, France would not allow the passage of the prosecuted Huguenots. The main trade was Canada’s fur; not the most profitable. Although fur was very popular in America, and had great potential to succeed. The lack of settlers and the large land area controlled by the French could not be efficiently occupied or fortified.

    To begin with, as noted by Gregory Hamel, some pros of the MNC operations in the Eurozone include: access to new markets and access to cheaper labor. When MNCs operate in foreign markets (including the Eurozone) access to cheap labor allows them to cut down production costs to competitive levels. Moreover, access to new markets mean that MNCs acquire additional consumers for their product.
