The Seychelles were discovered in 1502 during
the second voyage of Vasco da Gamma in India. But
evidence of earlier visits by Arab mariners has
also been preserved.
The British were the first of the Europeans to
land on the archipelago in 1609, the island was
examined in detail and described by the
expedition of Captain A. Sharpey. In the
17th-18th centuries, the islands served as a
reliable and convenient refuge for pirates.

In 1742, the governor of the French island of
Ile-de-France (Mauritius) detached an expedition
to explore the islands. After three expeditions
of Captain L. Pico to the archipelago, in 1756 he
was proclaimed the possession of France.
The development of the archipelago by French
settlers began in 1770, but significant
settlements appeared only in 1794. During the
French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, the
islands were occupied several times by the
British. The English ownership of the islands was
finally assigned to the Paris Peace Treaty of
1814.

As a result, on June 28, 1976, the independent
Republic of Seychelles was proclaimed as part of
the British Commonwealth.
