Barbados Conflict

 Background.

Barbados, an island nation southeast of the Caribbean Sea, located about 100 miles [160 km] east of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Almost triangular in shape, the island is about 20 miles [32 km] from northwest to southeast and about 15 miles [25 km] from east to west in its widest range. The capital and largest city is Bridgetown, also a major port.

The king had died in the civil war and was ousted as Parliament against the Empire finally came to an end. But with the ruling class and the sugar rich in one of Europe's richest colonies across the Atlantic, the conflict in the mid-1600's was just beginning as England sought to protect its economic interests and restrict trade. Royal Navy ships deployed will block the island and force its deployment. Although the British would come out victorious and put an end to other attempts, including a slave uprising, the 1651 act marked the island's first attempt at independence and the ardent desire of its citizens to liberate themselves from British rule. Nearly 400 years later, the final stage of the kingdom is fulfilled. On November 30, an island nation that has long been known as the “Little England” of the Caribbean will become a republic. The change comes after more than 40 years of debate, as well as 55 years to the day after the island nation moved from colonial rule to 1966 in the early 1600's when English immigrants demanded the English crown, which kept them in control of politics and commerce. For the first time since independence, a country that still respects Britain's high tea culture in 300-year-old farmhouses and has long been proud of its Caribbean-based economy, has seen a two-digit decline in revenue as unemployment by 2020 is close to 13 percent.

English settlers.

Barbados was first annexed by the English in 1625, two years after the voyage to the island and saw its power in its spirit of trade and the isolated country of the Lesser Antilles. The climate and its soil would soon be an economic boom in sugar production, and with its slave-based farming system, it would become one of Britain's richest colonies.

Prince Charles Speech.

The speech highlighted the ongoing friendship between the two nations despite acknowledging the horrors of the Atlantic slave trade. At first the English used white British workers to work hard in the fields of tobacco, cotton, indigo and sugar, but Barbados in a few decades would be England's first truly profitable slave society.
