This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Dutch established a colony on Mauritius in 1638. It never prospered and the few hundred souls there were evacuated in 1710 when the success of the Cape Colony made its supply function superfluous. A few years later the island was settled by Frenchmen from nearby Réunion. They successfully developed the Island’s present sugar plantation economy. Nearly 50,000 of the people were slaves whose origins lay in Madagascar or Mozambique. |
