Jamaica, is a land of 2.5 million people, it sits under Cuba, and is smaller than it.
It was inhabitted, by teh Native tribes from maybe 10,000 BC, or ealier, when it is felt Giant Sloths on teh isle, were made exticnt. Locals included in later years teh Arrawak, tribes who farmed, and knew of other isles.
In 1492 Columbus came, and saw his Spanish kingdom enslave and kill off the locals.
In teh 1640s-50s the British as Spain declined took the isle, and landed more and more slaves from Ireland and Africa.
These communitiesd with British settlers became teh main populations.
There were a few slave revolts especially in the era, of teh French Revolution, inspired by Haiti's ending of the slavery via French republicans, and local revolutionaries actions. But during it the British then evicted 100s of Maroons, who lived ibn teh interior hunting wild dogs, too other arweas, killing some again.
There were brutal slave revolst in teh 19thC, but eventual;ly slavery ended.
Jamaiocans renmained a society of rich whites, sligghtly less rich half whites, half blacvks, and poor blacks.
In teh 1930s, there were big strikes, which helped with ruiots create a kind of socialist movement which got some elected powere in the 1940s, under Manleys' Pnp. in decolonialism.
The plan was for a West Indian Federation, but the more right wing Labour Party of Jamaica, opposed this, wanting Jamaiacan independence . The L;abour party won a referenda, withdrawing, and won teh election.
It was officially independanmt from 1962. after teh WIF founded in 1958.
Balck people, were still in situations, where horrible people did not srve them in hotels, and such. in many cases, maybe that continues today I do not know, it was very unewqal.
In the 1970s, Manley installed as he was elected very left wing policies, even seeming to be pally with Castro.
The regime was ousted partly with the help of teh CIA, helping Labour gangs in party political gang warfare, of 100s dead,
The pulled back some left wing policies, and got US aid again.
The PNP took over leading acroos teh 90s to now. but less radically than under Manley,.
Some PNP, members propose stopping unfair treatment of sexual minorities, and also the creation of a republic. and teh reduction upon of violent gangs.
