A brief recap of Caribbean History

The majority of the Caribbean has populations of mainly African ancestry. In the French Caribbean, Anglophone Caribbean and Dutch Caribbean, there are minorities of mixed-race and European people of French, English, Dutch and Portuguese ancestry. Asian, especially those of Chinese and Indian descent form a significant minority in the region and also contribute to multiracial communities. Many of their ancestors arrived in the 19th century as indentured laborers. The Spanish-speaking Caribbean have primarily mixed majorities, primarily descended from Africans and Spaniards.

From 1500 to 1900, the population in the Caribbean rose owing to the arrival of slaves from West and Central Africa and immigrants from: Britain (Scotland and England), China, France, India, Spain, the Netherlands and Denmark. After the ending of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade the population continued to grow via natural increase.
