    What was the first overseas colony successfully settled by France?

    Some of the French overseas territories such as Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, and Réunion are called "overseas departments" of France, while New Caledonia and French Polynesia, for example, are just "overseas territories." What is the difference?

    Some say Britain no longer has colonies, just "dependencies" or "overseas territories" but in my 2001 encyclopedia, Bermuda, British Indian Ocean Territory, Falkland Islands (crown colony), Montserrat (crown colony), Pitcairn Islands and Turks and Caicos Islands (crown colony) are referred to as colonies. What is correct?
