 Maldives History
Unlike its colonised neighbours, the Maldives was relatively unaffected by the British Raj, and entered the twentieth century without hospitals, schools or harbours.
This tribute was purely ceremonial, and often ineffectual, but it was not until 1887 that the Maldives was forced to accept formal protectorate status; and then only after the government had been crippled by bankruptcy, politically motivated arson campaigns in Malé, and blatant gunboat diplomacy from the British.
In their natural ocean fortress of potentially lethal hidden reefs and malarial islands, conversing in their own language and writing in their own script, superstitious and pious, wary to the point of timidity, for centuries Moslem Maldivians avoided the unwanted currents of infidel European civilisation that swept the seas and continents around them.
