French Indies Company
Early modern colonial company
French Indies Company
The French Indies Company or French East Indies Company (French: Compagnie française des Indes orientales) was the main French overseas trading company during most of Louis XV's long reign in the 18th century. It emerged in March 1723 from the reorganization of John Law's Company following the termination of John Law's giant monetary experiment which the company had channelled. The company represented the France's first and longest-standing international monopoly over colonial trade for almost two centuries. As a delayed consequence of the Seven Years' War, the company's privilege was eventually withdrawn in 1769, and the company was liquidated the next year.
