Notable celebrations and festivals in Jamaica
There are attempts to identify the location of the first Spanish settlement in this area because it would help to understand when the young country was founded. During a century and a half, the Spanish delivered sugar cane to Europe. Later, slaves from Africa were growing sugar cane. When the British appeared on the island, the Spanish escaped to the nearby islands. As a result of the emancipation and the following economic chaos, an uprising took place in Morant Bay. Politics was born in Jamaica in the 30s of the 20th century. Two very different men, Michael Manley and Alexander Bustamante (who turned out to be cousins), founded main political parties of the island. Soon, the new Jamaican flag was raised proudly, and a new independent country was born.
