Why didn't they make the captain English?

Sometimes people wonder why they hired an English actor to play a French captain, but I wonder why they didn't simply make the character English. Why was it so important that he be French?
 
Just Pretend France was annexed by Britain following WWIII and it can explain it away. :p

But more seriously I don't think the problem was casting a Brit to play a Frenchman rather they seemed to play more on Steward's British background rather than Picard's French background.
