Between 1841 and 1912, France established colonial rule over Grande Comore, Anjouan, Mayotte, and Moheli and placed the islands under the administration of the governor general of Madagascar. Later, French settlers, French-owned companies, and wealthy Arab merchants established a plantation-based economy that now uses about one-third of the land for export crops.
Comoros was ruled by the French from 1841, until the early 1970’s. Today, it has three, official languages: Comorian, French & Arabic.
