Trinidad and Tobago were first colonized by the Spanish but came under British control in the late 19th century. Noted for the sugar industry, and the slave labor required to sustain it, the islands were crippled economically with the emancipation of slaves in 1834. However, large numbers of Indian contract laborers brought in between 1845 and 1917 boosted sugar production and a thriving cocoa industry.
