Review: An excellent resource. - I am really into pirates and their history in the Caribbean. This was awesome in giving me the history of this area. Like many area of the world they too fought for freedom. Both the French and American fight for freedom had their effect on the Caribbean. Remember in this area slavery was big business. I was interesting in knowing that France outlawed it in 1794. The Napoleonic Wars even had it effect on the Caribbean as would America Civil War. It is amazing what this area endured. This book is a very good overview and an excellent resource. Review: Good overview of the Caribbean. - While I had some background in mostly the tourist islands where we either stayed or visited on a cruise ship I learned about the politics of this diverse region and its tumultuous history. Before traveling there read this book as it will enrich your experience. I would have liked maps and pictures which is way it gets four stars. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,090,799 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #589 in Caribbean History #58,328 in Education & Teaching (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 217 Reviews | ## Images ![History of the Caribbean: A Captivating Guide to Caribbean History, Starting from Christopher Columbus through the Wars of Religion, Slavery, and ...

Their stories from that time have been lost to time. When Christopher Columbus landed in the Caribbean, he thought that he had made it to the East Indies. When he realized his mistake, he quickly scrambled to prove that what he had found would be profitable and a benefit to the Spanish Empire. Soon the native population was enslaved and forced to work, many died from diseases brought by the Europeans that they had no immunity to. Sugar became one of the most profitable exports from the islands. As the sugar plantations grew so did the need for more slaves, soon slaves outnumbered the free on many of the islands. In Haiti, the slaves revolted, took over the island and chased the whites from the island. As the United States became aware of its need for national security, Cuba and its close proximity to Florida became problematic. Cuba was a politically unstable island. Cuba wanted independence from Spain but what role should the U.S. play in Cuba's fight. When a riot started in Havana the U.S. sent the U.S.S. Maine to Havana to protect the American's there. A month after the ship arrived it exploded and the U.S. declared war on Spain. The U.S. invaded the Spanish held islands in the Caribbean, including the Philippians, Guam, Cuba, and Puerto Rico. After a few months of war, the Spanish sued for peace. In the Treaty of Paris, Cuba was granted independence and the U.S. recongnized Puerto Rico as a Territory. Cuba and the U.S. would go on to have a long rocky relationship. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/474983963-history-of-the-caribbean-a-captivating-guide-to-caribbean-history](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/474983963-history-of-the-caribbean-a-captivating-guide-to-caribbean-history) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
