Travel Warning History Mauritius was originally discovered by the Arabs as early as the 10th century but never stopped to settle it. The first attempt at colonisation was made by the Dutch who arrived in 1598 and named the island Mauritius after Prince Maurice of Nassau. The colony, however, never really flourished, and the Dutch departed for good in 1710, leaving in their wake the extinction of the dodo and the introduction of African slaves, Javan deer, wild boar, tobacco and sugar cane. In 1715, the French occupied the island which they renamed Isle de France. However, in 1810, the British launched a surprise attack against the French and conquered the island and reverted the name to Mauritius. It then won her independence from Britain on 12 March 1968, remaining within the Commonwealth.

Its chief island, also called Mauritius, lies about 800 kilometres east of Madagascar and about 4,000 kilometres southwest of India. Overpopulation is one of the country's problems. Sugar-cane fields cover about half of the island. Bare, black volcanic peaks tower over the sugarcane fields. Sugar is the island's chief product. The Dutch claimed Mauritius in 1598. Later, France and then Great Britain (now known as the United Kingdom) ruled the island. Mauritius gained its independence in 1968. It remained a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. Port Louis, a city of about 138,000 people, is the capital and leading port.

iWon Travel Africa Mauritius Powered by HISTORY and CULTURE History Culture History Arab traders knew of Mauritius as early as the 10th century but never stopped to settle it. Portuguese naval explorers stumbled upon it in the wake of Vasco de Gama's voyage around the Cape of Good Hope in 1498. Still, apart from introducing pesky monkeys and rats, the Portuguese did little to influence the island. This was left to the next wave of immigrants, the Dutch. In 1598, Vice Admiral Wybrandt van Warwyck came ashore and claimed the island for the Netherlands, christening it after his ruler, Maurice, Prince of Orange and Count of Nassau. It was another 40 years before the Dutch began to settle the country, preferring instead to use it as a supply base on the route to Java. The colony, however, never really flourished, and the Dutch departed for good in 1710, leaving in their wake the extinction of the dodo and the introduction of African slaves, Javan deer, wild boar, tobacco and sugar cane. While the Franco-Mauritian plantations produced wealthy sugar barons (as they do today), Indian workers continued to be indentured by the thousands. Through strength of numbers, Indians gradually bolstered their say in the country's management, aided in 1901 by a visit from Mahatma Gandhi. In 1936, the Labour Party was founded to continue the struggle for labourers' rights. The following year, their burden was lightened by a new constitution granting the vote to anyone over 21 who could sign their name. Under the direction of Dr Seewoosagur Ramgoolam (who was later knighted), membership swelled and the party flourished.
