Back to Africa

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 country profile, see CIA World Factbook on Mauritius.
