French possession in 1763 was ceded to the British, who then turned it into a colony in 1805. From 1958 to 1962 he was a province of the Federation of the West Indies. Achieved independence in 1978. Unlike other former colonies in the region, Dominica was never a Commonwealth realm with the British monarch as head of state: it became a republic at independence.
