The
Independence of the Bahamas
In 1492, an island called the Bahamas was found by a
man named Christopher Columbus who never knew that this Island would grow to
have over 350k people living there to this day. This island Is located in the Caribbean’s where many other Islands involved with the English were also
located. Some of these would include Jamaica, Barbados, Dominica, etc. Most of
the Countries in the Caribbean were just Islands just like the Bahamas. The Bahamas was conquered many, many times by different groups including English
Puritans, pirates, and eventually the English. The English took control of The
Bahamas for almost 325 years. Eventually, the Bahamas had grown tired of the
British rule and eventually desired to become independent and free from English
rule. In order to do that, they had to develop their own economy and own
political party. There were several different reasons that the Bahamas wanted
to separate from the British rule like the Economy or the lack of power in
their government. The Economy was unstable before they were a free country and
they also lacked power. The Bahamas couldn’t make their own decision without
asking the English for permission. The Bahamas was tired of having to ask to
make decisions and eventually were granted to have their own political party.
In the further paragraphs, I will explain more in-depth about the power that
the Bahamas had and how the economy was before they were free. I will also
briefly explain the history of the Bahamas and talk more about the commonwealth
which was later founded after the independence, and of course, talk about what
became of the Bahamas after they had gained independence. I will also include
what the English would get in return if they allowed the Bahamas to go free and
not worry about the English rule. The Country itself has come a long way today
and has also grown to have the second-best economy in the Caribbean! Before we
move on to the history section of the Essay, we must first ask ourselves, why
did the Bahamas want a stricter government?
