Seychelles History and Government History: It is thought that the Seychelles archipelago may have been visited by early Arab, Phoenician and Indonesian traders, but the first recorded sighting was by the Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama at the beginning of the 16th century. Until as little as 200 years ago, it remained uninhabited. In 1756 French planters claimed Mahé and seven other islands for France. The archipelago, until then known as the Amirantes (Admiral da Gama had named them after himself), was re-named in honour of the French king's accountant, Vicomte Moreau de Séchelles. The Seychelles were ceded to the UK in 1814, following the Napoleonic Wars. The British placed the group under the administration of Mauritius and settled it with 'old India hands', men and women with proven tropical expertise. For the next 150 years, isolated from the rest of the world and all but ignored by the major European powers, the Seychelles developed their own traditions, language and culture. The islands became a Crown Colony in 1903. Internal self-government was granted in 1975 and independence a year later. This isolated island paradise might have seemed an unlikely setting for the cut and thrust of Cold War politics, but in the years after independence, Seychellois politics were dominated by precisely that. The first post-independence Prime Minister, James Mancham, leader of the Seychelles Democratic Party, believed that tourism and offshore financial services offered the best economic future for the islands. While Mancham attended the 1977 Commonwealth Conference, armed supporters of the opposition Seychelles People's United Party (SPUP) staged a coup.
