Madagascar History Immigrants from Indonesia settled Madagascar in the central highlands. African and Arabian immigrants settled on the coasts. Many different kingdoms developed, but in the early 1800's, the Merina kingdom took control of the island. European missionaries and traders were welcomed by the Merina kingdom and they built churches and schools, until Queen Ranavalona I kicked them out in the 1840's. When she died in 1861, the Europeans returned and the French made Madagascar a French colony in 1896. Later, during World War II, it became a self-governing French state. In 1960, Madagascar gained complete independence. Location Economy Government People ... Home

Land and People > Madagascar History Madagascar History Madagascar History at its initial stages is ambiguous. The Indonesians and the Africans were the early settlers on the island. The European colonizers were a bit late to arrive and the Portuguese sailor Diogo Dias was the first European to come to know of Madagascar in 1500.The Portuguese missionaries desperately tried to convert the native Malagasy people but failed miserably. The French settlers, however, was able to established a stronghold in the island country since the time of their arrival in 1642. They continued to rule there for more than two centuries. The 17th century Madagascar history witnessed the birth and subsequent rule of several Malagasy kingdoms like Betsileo, Antemoro, Merina and Antaisaka. Of all these kingdoms, those of the Merinas at the time of King Andrianampoinimerina and Radama 1 rose to power, conquered neighboring territories and gradually exerted their influence over them. By 1896, almost the whole of Madagascar came under the Merina dynasty except for the southern part and some parts of the west. The period between 1894 and 1896 witnessed a battle between the French and the Merina dynasty. The French succeeded in overthrowing the dynasty. The French settlers followed the policy of divide and rule and within a decade they became the main ruler of Madagascar. The years of suppression that the natives experienced in the hands of the French rulers, led to the formation of a radical Merina secret society .However its existence was soon detected and its plans foiled. The time during the World War II saw the rule of Madagascar change hands from the French to the British and again back to the French.

Would you try to live with them, learn from them and adopt some of their culture? Or would you try to throw them out and return to your own way of life? These are questions that the Malagasy (the people of Madagascar) have tried to answer in different ways throughout its history. The earliest Malagasy lived on the island between 1,500 and 2,000 years ago. The earliest Malagasy were a mixture of people, some from Africa, others from India and other parts of Southeast Asia. Early settlers from Southeast Asia brought with them rice farming, a practice that is widespread in today's Madagascar.

New publication A History of Madagascar Madagascar is home to one of the worldþs less widely known human cultures. Situated in the Indian Ocean, over 400 kilometres from the coast of Mozambique, it cannot really be said to be part of Africa, especially as Malagasy cultures, and particularly the Malagasy language, have more in common with Asia, and specifically Indonesia, than they do with Africa. By Stephen Ellis Inasmuch as malgachisants - as academic specialists are known - have had a background in area studies, it has tended to be a grounding in Africa rather than Asia. This is rather paradoxical, for not only is the Malagasy language of the Malayo-Polynesian group, but it is generally believed that Madagascarþs earliest immigrants were probably of Indonesian origin, and subsequent influences have been assimilated into what is still sometimes recognizable as an Indonesian-related culture. Despite the existence of a number of excellent works on the Malagasy language, it has been relatively little studied by specialists of Asia who may find in Malagasy culture, and in the language especially, clues as to the history of some Asian languages which have developed from common roots. Just as Madagascar has been the preserve of specialists in the academic world, so it has also in the business and commercial world. Madagascarþs economy has stagnated since the early 1970s, and it is rarely the subject of international attention for this reason. Periodic attempts to build a tourist industry have not led to the development of mass tourism, and, in general, those outsiders who have personal knowledge of the island remain rather few in number.

Africans and Indonesians reached the island in about the 5th cent. A.D. , the Indonesian immigration continuing until the 15th cent. From the 9th cent., Muslim traders (including some Arabs) from E Africa and the Comoro Islands settled in NW and SE Madagascar. Probably the first European to see Madagascar was Diogo Dias, a Portuguese navigator, in 1500. Between 1600 and 1619, Portuguese Roman Catholic missionaries tried unsuccessfully to convert the Malagasy. From 1642 until the late 18th cent. the French maintained footholds, first at Taolagnaro (formerly Fort-Dauphin) in the southeast and finally on Sainte Marie Island off the east coast. Radama I In 1883 the French bombarded and occupied Toamsina (then Tamatave), and in 1885 they established a protectorate over Madagascar, which was recognized by Great Britain in 1890. Rainilaiarivony organized resistance to the French, and there was heavy fighting from 1894 to 1896. In 1896, French troops under J. S. Gallieni defeated the Merina and abolished the monarchy.

Country Info Home Introduction General Data Maps ... Time and Date Madagascar : History The Republic of Madagascar, formerly known as the Malagasy Republic and the Democratic Republic of Madagascar, has undergone remarkable socioeconomic and political changes during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Occupying a strategic location off the southeast coast of Africa, the island historically became the target of British and French imperial ambitions. Ultimately, the competition resulted in French colonization at the end of the nineteenth century. The nation gained full freedom from colonial rule on June 26, 1960. Philibert Tsiranana headed the conservative regime of the First Republic, which was superseded in 1975 by a Marxist-oriented military regime under Lieutenant Commander Didier Ratsiraka. In the face of rising political dissent and socioeconomic decline that reached its height at the beginning of the 1990s, the Second Republic succumbed to the wave of democratization spreading throughout the African continent. On March 27, 1993, the inauguration of Albert Zafy as the third elected president of Madagascar since freedom marked the beginning of the Third Republic.
