Dominica was the last of the Caribbean islands to be colonized by Europeans, due
chiefly to the fierce resistance of the native Caribs. France ceded possession
to Great Britain in 1763, which made the island a colony in 1805. In 1980, two
years after independence, Dominica's fortunes improved when a corrupt and
tyrannical administration was replaced by that of Mary Eugenia CHARLES, the
first female prime minister in the Caribbean, who remained in office for 15
years. Some 3,000 Carib Indians still living on Dominica are the only
pre-Columbian population remaining in the eastern Caribbean. |
