English Dominica - Commonwealth of Dominica

The Commonwealth of Dominica is an island nation in the Caribbean Sea. Dominica's pre-Columbian name was Wai'tu kubuli, which means "her body is tall." The indigenous people of the island, the Caribs, have a territory which resembles the Indian reserves of Canada. Because the island went through a period of French occupation, and lies between two overseas départements of France : ► Guadeloupe to the north and ► Martinique to the south; the island is sometimes called "French Dominica". It also has the nickname "The Nature Isle of the Caribbean" due to its seemingly unspoiled natural beauty.

Français[1] Dominique (Communauté de la Dominique)

La Dominique est une île de l'archipel des Caraïbes, située à mi-chemin des îles françaises de la Guadeloupe et de la Martinique. Son nom précolombien est Wai'tu kubuli, qui signifie « Son corps est grand ». Le Commonwealth de la Dominique est membre du Caricom, de l'AEC, de l'OECO, du Commonwealth, de l'OEA, de l'ONU, de la Francophonie. Avant son indépendance en 1978, la Dominique était une colonie britannique, depuis le traité de Paris (1763), époque à laquelle la France y a renoncé. Elle fut passagèrement réoccupée par la suite.

Notes and references

General remarks:

  • The WIKIMEDIA COMMONS Atlas of the World is an organized and commented collection of geographical, political and historical maps available at Wikimedia Commons. The main page is therefore the portal to maps and cartography on Wikimedia. That page contains links to entries by country, continent and by topic as well as general notes and references.
  • Every entry has an introduction section in English. If other languages are native and/or official in an entity, introductions in other languages are added in separate sections. The text of the introduction(s) is based on the content of the Wikipedia encyclopedia. For sources of the introduction see therefore the Wikipedia entries linked to. The same goes for the texts in the history sections.
  • Historical maps are included in the continent, country and dependency entries.
  • The status of various entities is disputed. See the content for the entities concerned.
  • The maps of former countries that are more or less continued by a present-day country or had a territory included in only one or two countries are included in the atlas of the present-day country. For example the Ottoman Empire can be found in the Atlas of Turkey.
  1. ↑ French is added because of the widely spoken French patois.
