The Dominica is an island nation in the Caribbean Sea. It was the last Caribbean island to be colonized by Europeans due to the fierce resistance of the native Caribs. 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.
