The storm killed 172 people, left 214,260 homeless[30] and caused more than US$250million in damage. [74] Local timber merchants are harvesting scarce species of rosewood trees from protected rainforests within Marojejy National Park and exporting the wood to China for the production of luxury furniture and musical instruments. In 2017 the top exports were vanilla (US$894M), nickel metal (US$414M), cloves (US$288M), knitted sweaters (US$184M) and cobalt (US$143M). A vote gave Madagascar independence on June 26, 1960. An 1818-1819 French expedition seized Nosy Boraha, an island off the east coast of Madagascar, and Tintingue and Fort Dauphin (Taolanaro) on the mainland.

[129][130][131] Although they returned Runion to France, they kept Mauritius as a naval base which would maintain trade links throughout the British Empire. On the other side, the fishermen who, from the beginning, remained on the southwestern coast (probably the coasts of the first landing) were, according to the linguists, probably originally called the Vezo (from *ba/va/be/ve-jau "those of the coast", borrowed from Proto-Malayo-Javanese, today veju in Bugis, bejau in Malay, and bajo in Javanese[22]), which today is still the name of a Southwestern tribe.

[146], The rise of centralized kingdoms among the Sakalava, Merina and other ethnic groups produced the island's first standing armies by the 16th century, initially equipped with spears but later with muskets, cannons and other firearms. However, the French did provide several positive impacts for the island. French pressure aggravated the situation, notably the imposition by France in 1885 of a $2 million war indemnity.
