    Mauritius Introduction - 2005

    https://allcountries.org/wfb2005/mauritius/mauritius_introduction.html
    SOURCE: 2005 CIA WORLD FACTBOOK

      Background:
      Discovered by the Portuguese in 1505, Mauritius was subsequently held by the Dutch, French, and British before independence was attained in 1968. A stable democracy with regular free elections and a positive human rights record, the country has attracted considerable foreign investment and has earned one of Africa's highest per capita incomes. Recent poor weather and declining sugar prices have slowed economic growth, leading to some protests over standards of living in the Creole community.
