In the 1790s, Malagasy warriors raided the islands of Comoros for slaves and crops. By the 1820s, the population was decimated. Slaves were brought from mainland Africa. These were traded to the French in Mayotte and the Mascarenes. In 1865, slaves were possibly as much as 40% of the population of Comoros. | In the 1790s, Malagasy warriors raided the islands of Comoros for slaves and crops.
