 ==Immigration into Madagascar==
-*Until the late 18th century, the island of Madagascar, previously known as the Malagasy Republic, was ruled by a fragmented assortment of shifting sociopolitical alliances. Beginning in the early 19th century, most of the island was united and ruled as the Kingdom of Madagascar by a series of Merina nobles. The monarchy ended in 1897 when the island was absorbed into the French colonial empire, from which the island gained independence in 1960.
-*Under colonial rule, plantations were established for the production of a variety of export crops. Slavery was abolished in 1896 and approximately 500,000 slaves were freed; many remained in their former masters' homes as servants or as sharecroppers.
-*'''Chinese, Indian and Comoran minorities''' are present in Madagascar, as well as a '''small European (primarily French) populace'''.
-*Emigration in the late 20th century has reduced these minority populations, occasionally in abrupt waves, such as the '''exodus of Comorans in 1976''', following anti-Comoran riots in Mahajanga.
-*By comparison, there has been '''no significant emigration of Malagasy peoples'''.
-*The number of Europeans has declined since independence, reduced from 68,430 in 1958 to 17,000 three decades later.
-*There were an estimated '''25,000 Comorans, 18,000 Indians, and 9,000 Chinese''' living in Madagascar in the mid-1980s.<ref>"Madagascar", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madagascar#French_colonization, accessed 1 August 2021.</ref>
