Introduction
Caribbean Island countries are all beautiful with dreamy beaches, yet different background and future. They all have unique features that make it worthy to visit each one of them.
Grenada is one of the countries that has a lot to offer, to make you a lot of good memories to take home.
Recent History of Grenada
Grenada was colonized by the UK and France. They had brought African slaves and Indians there to work in the sugarcane industry. Eventually, the UK forced France out and took over itself. Grenada became a country on February 7, 1974, and joined the commonwealth countries.
Everything was going smoothly until a guy called Maurice Bishop, revolted and tried to make ties with the USSR, East Germany, and Cuba which was successful but he made it clear that he didn’t want to join the USSR as a state.
Then the US stepped in and was like, “Let’s force this guy back to its roots!”, it was accomplished and made the country a peaceful one again!
People in Grenada

There are numerous daily tours to delicious factories on the island where they show you the process of turning these plants to what we know, mostly as baking spices!
