Historical Background
The first permanent European settlers were French who came in 1660. They soon had African slaves. In 1763, Dominica went to England by treaty. In 1833, slavery was abolished. In 1871, Dominica became part of the British Leeward Islands. In 1940, the administration of Dominica was transferred to the British Windward Islands. In 1978, Dominica gained its independence.
