Best Answer

Columbus discovered and named this island 'Sunday' (Dominica in Latin) The French controlled it for some years and ceded it to Great Britain in 1763. The British colonised it. In November , 1978, Dominica became an independent nation. (Not to be confused with the Dominican Republic, which is a different country)
