During the transition of the fithteenth to sixteenth centuries, european countries searched new lands. The chief problem concerned to find complements for european economy. Spain and Portugal were the first countries to look for and to find and colonize new lands. Other countries have done the same effort. France was one among them. France was living under the Reform divided in bloody internal religious wars, but under an idea of Villegagnon tried to obtain a colony in Brazil at Guanabara bay. A misunderstanding between catholics and protestants had its place there with an effort to expel the invasors. The portuguese victory took an end to the idea of a French Antartic.
