White Population: 120,000

Madagascar also has a long history of colonization, being a logical answer to the question of “how come that there are so many white people there?” In this case, the French were the main actors, and they colonized Madagascar after invading it in December 1894. In the beginning, it was little by little, until 1896, when France officially annexed Madagascar as a colony and gained rule over the whole island. However, even though Madagascar gained independence in 1960, the white population today is a result of French settlers.
