The correct response is:

France created schools to assimilate willing Indigenous peoples, while Australia took children to forcibly assimilate Indigenous peoples.

France sought to integrate Indigenous individuals into French culture through education, while Australia implemented more coercive practices, such as the removal of Indigenous children from their families to ensure assimilation.
