French Somaliland ((フランス語:Côte française des Somalis), lit. "French Coast of Somalis"; (ソマリ語:''Dhulka Faransiiska ee Soomaaliya''); (アラビア語:أرض الصومال الفرنسي), ''ʾArḍ Aṣ-Ṣūmāl Al-Fransī'') was a French colony in the Horn of Africa. It was established between 1883 and 1887, after the ruling Somali and Afar sultans signed the land away in various treaties with the French.〔Hugh Chisholm (ed.) ''The Encyclopædia Britannica'' 11th ed., Vol. 25, p. 383. 1911.〕〔Raph Uwechue, ''Africa year book and who's who'', (Africa Journal Ltd.: 1977), p. 209 ISBN 0903274051.〕〔''A Political Chronology of Africa'', (Taylor & Francis: 2001), p. 132 ISBN 1857431162.〕 The construction of the Imperial Ethiopian Railway west into Ethiopia turned the port of Djibouti into a boomtown of 15,000〔"Jibuti" (Djibouti ) in the ''Encyclopædia Britannica'' 11th ed., Vol. 15. 1911.〕 at a time when Harar was the only city in Ethiopia to exceed that.〔"Abyssinia" (Ethiopia ) in the ''Encyclopædia Britannica'' 11th ed, Vol. 1. 1911.〕 Although the population fell after the completion of the line to Dire Dawa and the original company failed and required a government bail-out, the rail link allowed the territory to quickly supersede the caravan-based trade carried on at Zeila〔"Zaila" (Zeila ) in the ''Encyclopædia Britannica'' 11th ed., Vol. 28. 1911.〕 (then in the British area of Somaliland) and become the premier port for coffee and other goods leaving southern Ethiopia and the Ogaden through Harar. The railroad continued to operate following the Italian conquest of Ethiopia but, following the tumult of the Second World War, the area became an overseas territory of France in 1946. In 1967, French Somaliland was renamed the French Territory of the Afars and the Issas and, in 1977, it became the independent country of Djibouti. ==See also== * List of colonial heads of French Somaliland * List of French possessions and colonies * French colonial empire 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「French Somaliland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
