Mauritius was colonized by several powers over its history. The Portuguese were the first to visit in the 16th century, but they did not establish a settlement. The Dutch colonized the island in the 17th century, followed by the French in the 18th century, who developed sugar plantations. Finally, the British took control of Mauritius in 1810, and it remained a British colony until gaining independence in 1968.
