The French client republics (French: Républiques clients français) were a number of independent republican regimes created by France after the French Revolutionary War. The French Republic claimed to support the spread of the republican principles in Europe, but most of these client republics, or sister republics, were in fact a means of controlling the occupied lands through a mix of French and local control. This allowed France to retain the territories as protectorates without annexing the lands and angering the European neighbors.
