Francophone represents one of the methods of alienation and subordination which was carried out in the Arab’s world. It has gone through several stages and different styles, which began with the protection of Christians minority in the Levant (in the eighteenth century during the Ottoman rule), then it ended with the colonial military invasion of the Maghreb. Francophone worked towards the capture of the sources and resources of the Arab nations, and worked towards obliteration of the Arabian Islamic identity. After the liberalization of the Arab countries from military occupation, Francophone continued the abuse of the Arabs. However, the methodology of Francophone was defeated in the Arab’s world, but it left behind its existence serious effects, (for instance on the Arabic language, education and culture).
