Ranavalona III, the Last Empress of Africa
On this world day dedicated to Africa, let's discover together the story of the last African Empress...

Ranavalona III , born Razafindrahety on November 22 , 1861 and died in exile May 23 , 1917, is the last queen of Madagascar .

She rules from July 30, 1883 until February 28, 1897, a period marked by continuous and ultimately unsuccessful efforts to resist the colonial designs of the French government. In her youth, she was chosen to succeed Queen Ranavalona II , her aunt. Like the two previous queens, Ranavalona is granted a politically arranged marriage to Rainilaiarivony who, in her capacity as Prime Minister , largely oversees the day-to-day governance of the kingdom and manages its foreign affairs. Ranavalona tries to avoid colonization by strengthening commercial and diplomatic relations with the United States and Great Britain throughout his reign. French attacks on coastal port cities and the assault on the capital Antananarivo ultimately resulted in the capture of the royal palace in 1895, ending the sovereignty and political autonomy of the century-old kingdom.

The recently established French colonial government in the country exiles Prime Minister Rainilaiarivony to Algiers . Ranavalona and her court are initially allowed to stay in the queen's palace , but the outbreak of a popular resistance movement led by the Menalamba and the discovery of an anti-French plot at court lead the French to exile her. queen on the island of Reunionin 1897. Rainilaiarivony died the same year and soon after, Ranavalona was transferred to a villa in Algiers, with several members of her family. The queen, her family and the servants who accompany her receive an allowance and enjoy a comfortable standard of living; they even traveled to Paris. Despite Ranavalona's repeated requests, she was never allowed to return to Madagascar.

She died of an embolism in her villa in Algiers in 1917 at the age of 55 . His remains were first buried in Algiers and then repatriated 21 years later to Antananarivo , where they were placed in the tomb of Queen Rasoherina in the Rova of Manjakamiadana .
