Extractions: Abstract: Since its independence, the Comoros Federation has been faced with a profound crisis that affects its political institutions. Today, even its territorial integrity is questioned. In 1997, two of the three islands decided to secede, breaking the young federation into pieces. This article attempts to demonstrate that the disintegration of the Comorian federation can better be understood by taking into account the strong forces that have characterised the twenty-five years of its short history. These forces are the archipelago's natural tendency towards political breakdown, the specific interests of France, and the authoritarian and centralising policy of the federal government in Moroni. This article attempts to show the chaotic and incredible history of this volcanic archipelago, punctuated by numerous and theatrical developments. This paper also aims to expand the study on this Indian Ocean archipelago, which has so far been neglected. In the first part, which covers the period from independence to the advent of the federation, the author gives a general idea of 1) the pre-colonial and colonial history of the Comorian archipelago, 2) the walk towards independence, and 3) the Mayotte island's dissent. He also analyses 4) the rejection of the federation option in 1978, 5) the ambiguous French policy, 6) the circumstances surrounding the declaration of independence and 7) the advent of an independent Comorian entity without the Mahorian island.

Your job is to come to class prepared and participate as called upon. My job is to help you learn the subject matter and evaluate your performance fairly. It is expected that you come to class having read the materials assigned for that day. If you miss a class, get the notes from a classmate. If you become confused about either lecture or reading material, or if you just want to know more about the class or geography, please email or stop by during office hours Participation and Attendance: It is expected that you attend all classes, but I do not take attendance and no part of your grade is based simply on attendance. You should know that grades usually correspond to attendance. Students who miss more than a few classes rarely do well. I will make announcements in class about assigned readings and examination dates. Missing class compromises your ability to know about assignments and important dates, but it is your responsibility to know of all announcements. Finally, please arrive to class on time; it is distracting to everyone when students arrive after class has begun.
