The Challenges of Pre-Colonial and Colonial Hegemony of Aristocratic Kings to the 43 European Diplomatic Agents of Exploration, Expropriation and Exploitation (3Es) of Madagascar 1500-1960

Abstract: The present research work deals with the historical importance of Madagascar which is partially disconnected from the African and Asian Continents but however considered by most scientific researchers as an African country in spite of its mixed races and white colour. This is a country whose territorial boundaries are only border with the waters of the Indian and Pacific Ocean. Meaning that as an Island, it has nothing to deal with territorial land surface bordering crisis with any other countries within the two Continents. This exclusive advantages made the country history to be very remarkable and it therefore attracted Europeans especially the Portuguese navigators, the British and French pre-colonial and colonial hegemonies while facing challenges from an aristocratic self-proclaimed Queen with the policy of Europeanisation and butchering of Christians and other oppositions to her crude impossible rule of self-sufficiency which ended her own life on her quiet sleeping bed after 30 years at the throne. From the Great Red Island, Isle of Saint Lawrence through the French Annexation with 45 main Agents of Commanding Orders to Republic of Madagascar with our findings beginning from 1500 to 1960 when the Island got self-determination which took it course leading to independence in 1960 with portfolios of neo-colonial representatives changing due to State to State post-colonial bilateral relations. Taking a historical analytical approach, we consulted different sources and documentations specializing in issues of Madagascar with previos related literatures which are well quoted and references enable us to bring our modest contributions for the awareness of younger generation of historians and related field of studies to be aware of the 43 real pre-colonial and colonial representatives of the Europeans who can be accounted for whatever transpired detrimental to the territory and reparations can be imminently requested to the respective Governments in the cont
