Politics And Race In The Caribbean

            What I learnt about the techniques of economic organization and development".
             The assignment allowed me to identify the role of the most effective strategy called Empire Building during the late 1500's- 1900's through the use of capitalism. I also obtain some knowledge of how hard it is in a political sense to work with different individuals that represent a single empire within itself. .
             Capitalist Empire building was the technique based on the development of the Hispaniola economy. These developments included England, France and colonial America. The integration of several different countries of different resources became the way in expressing "one economy". These countries achieved a great deal of economic development through conquest and slavery. .
             The discovery of gold began the dominant economical role in the 14th century according to my research. The scarcity of gold enhanced interest in sugar mills plantation, which lead to the importation of African slaves. Even before the exploitation of slaves, the natives Indians were subjected to the same treatment. They worked under horrible conditions with minimal pay. The role of that government was to gain control through military and economic advancement. They created a society where laborers had no choice, but to produce the needs of the sovereignty. This meant fighting the countries wars and working till the death.
             Conquest in a capitalist society plays a big part. Global trade became the social economy outside the country. The triangular trade contributed to a development of "shipping and shipbuilding". Ships were employed to different colonies providing them with different resources. Commerce doubled due to the capitalistic tactics of expanding their resources through the seas in order to get what they needed "Money".
             The way this was constructed in an economical sense lead to the division of the industry. England-France and colonial America equally supplied exports and the ships; African human merchandise and the plantation became the colonial provider of raw materials.
