Résumé
This article summarizes the significant phases of the demand for independence in New Caledonia. It sets out a step-by-step review of the sequences contributing to a basic, nonexhaustive and structured understanding of the different stages of this demand, to trace the outlines thereof. The question, appertaining to this development, to be posed at this point, is this: how has the demand for independence in New Caledonia evolved in response to changing political and cultural contexts? The period under study therefore begins when the Indigenous Regime was ended in 1946, when the native population officially became citizens of France,and extends to the emergence of a Kanak people. Moving on, the focus is an appreciation of the major factors leading the native population to demand their independence, from the 1960s up to the Ouvéa episode in 1988. The article finally outlines the strategy adopted during the period when Accords were concluded with the French government with a view to achieving the ultimate goal: New Caledonia’s accession to full sovereignty.
