- Madagascar is a beautiful island nation with a rich and complex history. In this video, we will explore the history of Madagascar, focusing on the Sakalava and Merina kingdoms, their important kings and queens, and the Merina defeat to the French in 1897.
The Sakalava kingdom was a coalition of three kingdoms that dominated the western and southern parts of Madagascar from the 17th to 19th centuries. The Sakalava people were skilled warriors and traders, and they played an important role in the development of Madagascar.
The Merina kingdom was located in the central highlands of Madagascar. The Merina people were the most populous ethnic group on the island, and they rose to power in the 19th century. The Merina kingdom expanded its territory and conquered the Sakalava and other kingdoms, uniting Madagascar under a single rule.
The Merina kingdom was ruled by a succession of powerful kings and queens. Some of the most notable Merina monarchs include:
King Radama I (1782-1828): Radama I was a pro-European ruler who opened Madagascar to trade and missionaries. He also expanded the Merina kingdom and strengthened the military.
Queen Ranavalona I (1828-1861): Ranavalona I was a strong and decisive ruler who persecuted Christians and closed Madagascar to European influence. She also expanded the Merina kingdom and strengthened the military.
King Radama II (1861-1863): Radama II reversed many of his mother's policies. He reopened Madagascar to European influence and restored religious freedom. He was assassinated by a group of conservative nobles.
The Merina kingdom came to an end in 1897 when it was defeated by the French in the Franco-Hova War. The French colonized Madagascar and ruled the island until 1960.
In this video, we will discuss the history of Madagascar in more detail, focusing on the Sakalava and Merina kingdoms, their important kings and queens, and the Merina defeat to the French in 1897. We will also explore the legacy of these kingdoms and the impact they had on the development of Madagascar.

Le fc wakanda keep reinventing history 🤣🤣
Tell me more 🤷🏾♂️ what history was reinvented here
Wasn’t the kingdom of merina established prior to the sakalava kingdom?
No the first inhabitants of the island came from Africa (Sakalava) Merina people came after from asia
Misaotra anao aminireo fanazavana sy ny asa fikaroana nataonao.
Misaotra anao nijery!
First people of madagascar came from south east asia not bantus who cant even invent boats 😂😂
For Africans reading this: “Bantu can’t even invent boats”
Remember that the first objective of colonialism was to change our history, minimize our accomplishments and paint us as useless. But I created this channel to share our African story, with no bias and solid sources ❤️🌍
