Mauritius, located in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar, was originally settled
by the Dutch. The Dutch abandoned the island in 1710, and France claimed the island
in 1715, named it Isle de France. Became a British colony in 1810, and attained
independence in 1968. Mauritius is a member of the British Commonwealth. For a more detailed
