Its incredible how Britain, who had the lowest population out of the superpowers at the time, somehow managed to expand and create a vast empire that conquered almost the same surface area as the moon

As an agricultural power and politically unified country, France had a early population boom. But the 19th century was a nightmare demographically speaking. IIRC if it had the same birth rate as England from 1815 to the mid 20th century, it would be above 100 million people today. But since the post-WWII reconstruction era, the pro-birth policies (social welfare, daycare, union laws) made it among the highest birth rates in the developed world.
