Nature Island of the Caribbean
Dominica is a small island nation in the Caribbean known for its lush tropical rainforests and volcanic landscapes. It was originally inhabited by the Kalinago people before being colonized by European powers, including Spain, France, and Britain. Dominica gained independence in 1978 and is now a parliamentary democracy with a president as head of state and a prime minister as head of government. The island has a long history of resistance against colonial rule, with the Kalinago people fighting fiercely to defend their land and culture. Dominica has also been affected by natural disasters, including hurricanes and volcanic eruptions. Today, the country relies on agriculture, tourism, and offshore banking as its main economic activities. Background - Wikimedia / David Broad
