Colony of Jamaica
From Warlike
The Crown Colony of Jamaica and Dependencies was a Crown colony of the British Empire from 1655 to 1962. English forces launched an invasion of Jamaica in 1655, capturing the colony. Jamaica was primarily used for exploiting sugarcane on plantations operated by African slaves and indentured servants from Europe and India, and experienced several rebellions over the course of British rule. The colony was granted independence in 1962.
