History of Corraile

The History of Corraile refers to the development of the constituent territories of the modern-day Federal Republic of Corraile, including the-then states of Corraile, Stanraer Island, Fairman island and Colganston, from the period of initial settlement and colonisation to it's eventual development as an independent state.

Evidence found has suggested that the earliest human settlement in Corraile occurred 11,000 to 5,000 years ago, on par with neighbouring Nova Scotia. These Paleo-Indian settlers preceded the more recent settlement of native Mi'Kmaq settlers at least 2,000 years before initial European exploration and settlement. These pre-discovery settlements are limited to Corraile only, however, and outlying states such as Fairman Island and Stanraer Island were unhabited before colonisation.

Included as part of new France in the late 1600s, it was retained, along with the French territories of St. Pierre Et Miquelon in the wake of the Treaty of Paris. In 1803, the Treaty of Duvail ceded French possession of Corraile (then known as L'ile a l'ouest) to the British, beginning a 167-year long period under the British crown. Corraile was subsequently developed as a maritime hub for the British merchant and naval fleet, owing to it's pivotal position in the Atlantic, and played key roles for the British Empire in both World Wars. Political developments in a post-war context saw self-government granted to the colonies under the Atlantic Union, following which was eventual independence as a republic in 1970.

Following strong economic growth and general improvement of living standards after independence, Corraile is one of the most developed countries in the Western Hemisphere, commonly referred to as the "Atlantic Tiger". It joined the Alliance of Independent Nations in 2010.
