Morant Bay Rebellion

Morant Bay Rebellion (1865)

The British Empire remains the largest colonial empire that ever existed in the world and in its time, Great Britain owned global power. It is safe to say that the methods used to achieve that kind of power, were controversial. The 19th century marks a period of rapid growth for the British Empire, which was accompanied by a extensive use of violence. Besides the Chinese Opium Wars, the Indian Mutiny and the New Zealand Taranaki War, Great Britain got entangled in the Morant Bay Rebellion in Jamaica in 1865.
