What major historical events do you remember?
There are so many historical events that I remember since I am born in the island of Mauritius which was then an underdeveloped country. Mauritius was first occupied by the French and was then known as Ile de France in September 1715.
They lost the island in a battle with the British.
By 1814,the island was occupied by Great Britain and renamed Mauritius 🇲🇺.
In 1968,I traveled to London with my British Passport to study Law in Lincoln’s Inn. In December, my father sent me a telegram to announce that Mauritius had won its independence and that the British rule was over.
I cried tears of joy.
