Description

Almost everyone knows The Bahamas and Jamaica are in the Caribbean. But what do you really know about those countries?

The history of the Caribbean is an exciting ride, but few outside of the region know much about it in depth beyond Columbus's discovery. This book will lead you through the history of the region, which witnessed some of the world's most important events. We will begin with Christopher Columbus's accidental discovery and the race for control over the islands of the Caribbean.

The land grabs led to war and colonization, making this once-peaceful region a more violent place. In time, most of the Caribbean islands pushed back, declaring independence. But did that make things better for these island nations? Or is there still much work to be done?

If you are curious about learning the answers to these questions and more about the exciting history of this beautiful region, keep reading. This book has a ton of interesting information, including:

• What happened when Christopher Columbus discovered the Caribbean and the chain of events that happened afterward;

• The pirates who made their living in the Caribbean region and Central America;

• How mainland Europe had an effect on the Caribbean colonies, with a closer look at the wars of religion, the American and French Revolutions, and the Napoleonic Wars;

• What happened when Caribbean nations yearned to break free from their colonial powers to become independent;

• The United States' involvement in the Caribbean, including the Spanish-American War;

• The dictatorships in some of the Caribbean nations that left behind brutality and financial ruin;

• The dictator that would side with an adversary of the United States during one of the most critical times in world history;

• The struggles the Caribbean is facing today and what its future might look like;

• And much, much more!
