Corfu was inhabited since Middle Paleolithic Times. History begins in 734BC with the colonization of the island by the Corinthians. As a province of the Roman Empire since 229BC, it became part of the eastern Roman Empire known as Byzantium. After many invasions and pillages by Crusaders and pirates, in 1386 AC was accepted the dominion of Venice, which lasted for about 400 years. After the fall of Venice, the Democratic French took over and stayed for about 7 years.
