Tmeline of the Andaman Islands’ History
2004
A 10 metre high Tsunami hit the Andaman islands. 7,000 people were killed.
Devil’s Island is one of three islands in the Caribbean
Sea near French Guiana. In 1852 a prison was opened
on Devil’s Island – in the Caribbean Sea near French
Guiana – by the French Emperor Napoleon III.
From 1852 to 1938 over 80,000 French prisoners were
sent to the island. Many were never seen again. A lot
died of terrible illnesses. Few prisoners escaped. The
only ways out were through the jungle or by boat.
In 1854 a new law meant that Devil’s island prisoners
had to stay on in French Guiana for the same time
again as they had been in prison – or for life if they
had been there for over eight years. In 1885 a new
law meant that criminals who were guilty of a number
of smaller crimes were sent to the island, too. A few
women were also sent to French Guiana. The idea was
for them to marry some of the men after they left
prison. In 1907 this plan was stopped.
In 1895, the French army captain Alfred Dreyfus was
sent to Devil’s Island on January 5th as an enemy of
France. He was innocent.
A plan to send women prisors to French Guiana was
stopped in 1907.
In 1938 the French government stopped sending
prisoners to Devil’s Island, and in 1952 the prison was
closed. Most of the prisoners went to France, but some
decided to stay in French Guiana.
