The first wave of immigrants from Madagascar who came in France were soldiers recruited as colonial troops into the French Armed Forces to fight in the World Wars. After 1947, some Malagasy nationalist students came to study in parts of Europe and Asia[1] The second wave of immigrants began in 1975, because of the political instability in Madagascar.[1] The third wave, which began in 1990s, is composed mostly of economic migrants.[1]
