The islands of Île Amsterdam and Île Saint-Paul in the southern Indian Ocean were first claimed by France in June 1843. The islands are part of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands since 1955.

Establishment


  • June 1843: France's claim to the island dates from 1843, when a group of fishermen from Réunion, interested in setting up a fishery on Saint-Paul, pressed the Governor of Réunion to take possession of both Saint-Paul and Amsterdam Island. This was performed by means of an official decree dated 8 June 1843.
