This video explores the basics of Jamaican history and politics to explain how the island went from a Spanish colony to a British one, how despite massive resistance of enslaved people, it never had a successful revolution like Haiti's. It begins with Columbus and goes all the way to the current Prime Minister Andrew Holness, with coverage of the Morant Bay Rebellion, the 1938 Labour Riots etc.
