==French Colonization (1841-1978)==
France purchased the island of Maore "Mayotte" in 1841, and it was ratified a colony in 1843. In 1886, an agreement was signed between the French government and the Sultan of Bambao, making the islands of Ngazidja, Ndzwani, and Mwali protectorates. In 1908, Mayotte was declared a single colony and the other islands as dependencies. They were annexed as a province of Madagascar in 1912. Following British occupation during World War II, the Comoros Islands were administered separately from Madagascar, and became an overseas territory of France. In 1975 three of the islands became independent from France, Mayotte.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "History of the Comoros," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Comoros#Colonial_rule, accessed 17 July 2019.</ref>
