Grenada and Carriacou Highlights and challenges

Upon starting this project, it was very challenging for me to pick a topic. While looking at a video on my island, I discovered that it has a unmentioned history. This history even includes the united states.

While doing research and finding information on my island, I discovered a lot of useful facts that I didn't know before. I learned that Grenada was under the leadership of a man named Maurice Bishop. Bishop was a good man and leader who only wanted the best for his people and the development of his home. He had a lot of support from communist countries such as Cuba and the Soviet Union. This allegiance would put a target on his back by the United States Government. Trying to squash the tensions with the U.S. would eventually get him overthrown and killed.

Next I learned that Grenada supports its economy through the trading of spices. It has some of the world's biggest exports of nutmeg and Mace crops. Also, being a caribbean island, it has an increasing profit in tourism
