Dominica

Jump to: navigation, search

Dominica is an island republic in the Eastern Caribbean that was colonized by both Britain and France. Its modern culture is a mix of the traditional indigenous culture along with influences from Britain, France and various African elements brought by slaves. The official language is English, though French and Antillean Creel are commonly spoken.


The government of Dominica was the target of one of the strangest attempted coups in history, when an unpopular ex-prime minister teamed up with foreign Klansmen and neo-Nazis in 1981 to invade the predominantly black nation. Needless to say, the plot failed miserably and its participants were arrested. The incident became known as "Operation Red Dog" or the "Bayou of Pigs."
