Madagascar is the largest island in Africa and the largest in the Indian Ocean. It covers an area of nearly 600,000 square kilometers (roughly equivalent to the sum of the areas of Hubei, Hunan and Guangdong provinces), and has a population of about 25 million, less than half of the population of Hubei Province.

When the French conquered Africa, the resource-rich Madagascar has long coveted, unlike the islands of Mayotte and Reunion, the warships have conquered it with a few guns, Madagascar has a large population and a large enough area, plus located on the Tropic of Cancer, the tropical jungle almost covers the entire island, under the heroic resistance of the locals, the French from the beginning of the 19th century, using capital control, diplomatic pressure, military invasion and other means, many attempts to annex Madagascar failed, However, Madagascar's struggle against France was subject to the international environment at that time, and despite many resistances, by the end of 1896, it was still a French colony. It was not until the end of World War II, under the surging independence movements in African countries, that Madagascar finally gained its independence in 1960.
