Les Portugais découvrent en 1528 l'île restée longtemps déserte. Les Français en prennent possession en 1638. [...] l'île prend le nom d'«île Bourbon» en 1649. [...] En 1793, l'île prend le nom d'«île de la Réunion», pour rappeler la «réunion» des Marseillais et des gardes nationaux le 10 août 1792. [...] Sous l'Empire, l'île est appelée «Bonaparte» tant qu'elle n'est pas occupée par les Anglais (1810-1815). Redevenue «Bourbon» sous la Restauration, elle reprend son nom actuel en 1848. 2, record 3, French, - R%C3%A9union
