Everything about Mer- G E totally explained
Mer-Égée (
French for
Aegean Sea) was a one of three short-lived French
départements in present
Greece. It came into existence after
Napoleon's conquest in 1797 of the
Republic of Venice, when Venetian Greek possessions such as the
Ionian islands feel to the
French Directory. It included the islands of
Zante (
Zakynthos),
Kythira and the
Strofades, as well as Dragamesto (modern
Astakos) on the Greek mainland. Its prefecture was at the town of
Zante (Zakynthos). The territories were lost to
Russia in 1798 and the département was officially disbanded in 1802. During the renewed French control of some of the area in 1807-1809, the département wasn't re-established. Instead the area was incorporated in the
Illyrian provinces.
