Brief History
|
|
Martinique was firmly a French colony located in the Caribbean. Unfortunately for the French the Royal Navy would be more than a match for the French Navy and time and again they were able to take control of French colonies like these at will. The first occasion was during the Seven Years War, the British occupied it in 1762 and 1763. They would return in during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. First of all from 1794 to 1802 when a temporary truce was called in Europe. But it was then reoccupied from 1809 when the British and French were at each others throats once more. It was returned in 1814.
