How did the French attack on Roseau in 1805 affect Dominica?

In 1805, French forces launched a final assault on Dominica as part of the long-standing colonial struggle between France and Great Britain for control of the island. During this attack, the French forces successfully burned Roseau, the capital and chief town of the island.123

Despite the destruction caused to the capital, the French were ultimately forced to withdraw, and they were unable to retake the island. This event marked the end of the French attempts to capture Dominica, which had frequently changed hands between the two European powers since the mid-18th century.12
