Your argument neglects the fact that France and Spain had several treaties that effectively allowed French settlers to settle on Spanish lands in America and do business directly with Spanish traders and merchants.
Mendoza violated the treaties when he ran off the Huguenots and murdered all the women and children. He particularly liked to kill children.

I wasn’t aware that I was making an argument, I merely posted a slaughter incident.
