The mission civilisatrice, or "civilizing mission," was the primary intervention philosophy of the French empire. It was the belief that French colonizers had a responsibility to bring French culture, language, and values to their colonies and to "civilize" the people living there. This approach led to widespread cultural and linguistic assimilation, as well as the establishment of French-style institutions and infrastructure across the empire.
