Seychelles: International Business Company IBC
While
Austronesian seafarers or Arab traders may have been the
first to visit the uninhabited Seychelles, the first
recorded sighting of them took place in 1502, by the
Portuguese Admiral Vasco da Gama, who passed through the
Amirantes and named them after himself (islands of the
Admiral). The first recorded landing and first written
account was by the crew of the English East Indiaman
Ascension in 1609. As a transit point for trading between
Africa and Asia, they were occasionally used by pirates
until the French began to take control of the islands
starting in 1756 when a Stone of Possession was laid by
Captain Nicholas Morphey. The islands were named after Jean
Moreau de Séchelles, Louis XV’s Minister of Finance. [1]
The British contested control over the islands with the
French between 1794 and 1812. Jean Baptiste Quéau de Quincy,
French administrator of Seychelles during the years of war
with the United Kingdom, declined to resist when armed enemy
warships arrived. Instead, he successfully negotiated the
status of capitulation to Britain, which gave the settlers a
privileged position of neutrality.
Britain eventually assumed full control upon the surrender
of Mauritius in 1812 and this was formalised in 1814 at the
Treaty of Paris. The Seychelles became a crown colony
separate from Mauritius in 1903 and independence was granted
in 1976, as a republic within the Commonwealth. In 1977, a
coup d'état ousted the first president of the republic,
James Mancham, replacing him with France Albert René. The
1979 constitution declared a socialist one-party state,
which lasted until 1991. The first draft of a new
constitution failed to receive the requisite 60 percent of
voters in 1992, but in 1993 an amended version was approved.
