Colonial period
Island Jamaica opened the Spanish Empire in 1494. The first settlement was founded in 1509.

However, in 1655 the island was captured by England, and in 1670 it officially became her possession. She used the island to grow sugar cane.

From the middle of the 17th to the beginning of the 19th century, uprisings of Negro slaves took place in Jamaica, which was brutally suppressed by British troops.

In 1838, slavery was abolished on the island.

From 1919-to 1923, anti-colonial uprisings took place in Jamaica. In the second half of the 1930s, they flared up again.

Independent Jamaica
In 1959, Great Britain granted self-government to Jamaica, and in August 1962 it became an independent state. After independence, a new constitution was adopted, according to which Jamaica retained its membership in the Commonwealth of Nations.

Jamaica joined the UN in 1962, and in 1963 signed an agreement with the United States on military and economic assistance. The United States soon became Jamaica's main trading partner and bought out most of its businesses and banks. In 1969, Jamaica joined the OAS.

After the 1972 parliamentary elections, Jamaica limited the influence of foreign capital and began to regain control of most of its enterprises and resources. Jamaica became a party to several treaties on the limitation of nuclear weapons, and on August 1, 1973, it joined the Caribbean Community.

After the 1980 elections, Jamaica again moved towards rapprochement with the United States and supported a policy against Cuba and Grenada. Jamaica was receiving a lot of financial assistance from the United States at the time.

In 1989, a massive hurricane hit Jamaica, causing massive damage of several billion dollars.
