Blog about the Paradise Island; Mauritius ♥

in #history6 years ago

Steemians, Mauritius is a country located in the Indian Ocean. We have a rich history. The island was ruled by Portugal, Arabia, Netherlands, France and England.

And in 1968, Mauritius got its independence and became a free country. I came across an old album with pictures dating from 1900 to 2000. These pictures alone show how great and colonialist the island was!
