In 1886 the France made the island a protectorate and the sultanate was crushed in 1909 when France decided to annex the island.
In 1975 Mohéli joined with the Grande Comore is Anjouan to form the State of Comoros. On 11 August 1997, Mohéli left the Comoros, followed by Anjouan after only one week. Mohéli then quietly met in the Comoros in 1998.
