Many overseas possessions of France found themselves more and more alienated from the republican government following the revolution. However, it is not until the death in captivity of the King and the assumption to the vacant throne by the late king's brother that the colonists found a unifying factor. While their respective grievances were quite different (maintaining slavery for the Antilles, keeping the parish organisation in the northern Americas, etc ...), The new king promise of "Provincial Particularity" allowed him to convince those disgruntled provinces to come together against the Convention.

  • Many overseas possessions of France found themselves more and more alienated from the republican government following the revolution. However, it is not until the death in captivity of the King and the assumption to the vacant throne by the late king's brother that the colonists found a unifying factor. While their respective grievances were quite different (maintaining slavery for the Antilles, keeping the parish organisation in the northern Americas, etc ...), The new king promise of "Provincial Particularity" allowed him to convince those disgruntled provinces to come together against the Convention. While they did manage to ensure their independence, the ultimate dream of retaking metropolitan France was officially abandoned after a few decades during the negotiation that led to the Treaty of Saint-Malo. In following years, the URP saw the number of its provinces increase first by reconquering Acadia (with the help of local irredentists) and later by buying Rupert's Land from the English. Besides descendants of French loyalists, the modern population of the URP benefited from a large immigration of Basques, Corsicans, Bretons, and Alsatians fleeing ethnic persecution.
