Polynesia

Based on archeological evidence and comparative linguistic identity, experts believe that
Since 1966, France has been conducting nuclear tests on Mururoa and Tuamotu. From 1975 to 1992, France conducted a total of 135 underground nuclear tests and 52 atmospheric nuclear tests on the island. In 1995, France s newly elected President Chirac announced that he would continue to conduct eight nuclear tests on the island within a year. In early 1996, a team of independent scientists from Polynesia published a report on the leakage of radioactive chemicals into the waters of the island from a French nuclear test site. The French government acknowledged this, but denied that the chemicals pose a threat to the environment. At the end of 1997, the World Christian Federation published a report on the situation of the Mururoa nuclear test site in Geneva, stating that from 1963 to 1996, 10 to 15,000 people employed at the nuclear test site were under the age of 10. %, More than 60% under 16 years old, so a big uproar was caused. As a result, the French government began dismantling nuclear test site facilities in 1997 and completed the demolition work in July 1998. In 1999, the French government was sentenced by the Administrative Court to Polynesia for 204 million Pacific francs.
In 2000, France had a garrison of 3,100 and a gendarmerie of 600. France's military budget on the island was 34.343 billion CFA francs. [1]
