Ranavalona III
Ranavalona III was the last reigning monarch of Madagascar, ruling from 1883 until the French colonization in 1897. She is known for her efforts to resist colonial domination and maintain Madagascar's sovereignty during a time of significant European imperial expansion in Africa. Her reign was marked by attempts to modernize the kingdom and strengthen its independence, including the establishment of a national army. However, her efforts ultimately led to her exile following the French annexation of Madagascar. Ranavalona III remains a symbol of resistance against colonialism in Madagascar's history.
