Before 1505, the island was deserted. When the Portuguese Masquelin landed on the island, he simply called the nameless island "Bat Island"; the first thing he saw when he landed on the island was bats. In 1598, the Dutch came here and named the island "Mauritius" after Prince Maurice. Taiwan is now translated as "Mauritius". More than 100 years later, the French occupied it and renamed it "Île-de-France". More than 100 years later, the British defeated the French, changed the name of the island back to "Mauritius", and officially classified the island as a British colony in 1814. In order to obtain self-government, Mauritians fought for it in various forms, and finally in July 1961, the British agreed to mauritian self-government. On 12 March 1968, Mauritius officially declared its independence.
