Madagascar, as a geological entity, began to form around 165 million years ago when it separated from the supercontinent Gondwana. However, as a distinct political entity, Madagascar was established as a kingdom in the 9th century with the rise of the Merina Kingdom. The island was officially recognized as a French colony in 1896 until it gained independence on June 26, 1960.
