The Maldives was primarily colonized by the Portuguese in the 16th century, who sought to control the Indian ocean trade routes. However, the Portuguese influence was short-lived, as they were expelled in the mid-17th century by the Dutch. Subsequently, the Maldives became a protectorate of the British Empire in the 19th century until gaining independence in 1965.
