ABOUT MAURITIUS:

Mauritius, sometimes known as the Republic of Mauritius, is an island nation in the Indian Ocean's Mascarene archipelago. More than 1.2 million people live there, and it is located 2,000 kilometers off the southeast coast of Africa. Over 60 million years ago, as India and Madagascar split apart, a piece of the old continent of Mauritius that is now underwater became the country of Mauritius. The island is volcanic in origin and contains a wide variety of wildlife. The island is covered with several mountains and rocky outcroppings.

Rumor has it that early Phoenician and Arab traders were aware of Mauritius. Then, in the 16th century, it came under Dutch rule and was given the name Maurice, Prince of Orange. The island was known as Isle de France and was a French colony between 1715 and 1810. The island gained independence as a Commonwealth dominion in 1968, and in 1992 it became a republic.
