Barbados

Barbados is located in the western area of the North Atlantic Ocean. In 1625, it became English, and then later on, a British Colony. In 1625, english sailors arrived at Barbados. It was the only carribean island not taken over by the British colony yet, and this is why the British empire took over. The main economic activities didn't include much. Although, it did become one of the world's biggest sugar industries later on. The colony gained independence in November 1996, after years of peaceful and democratic success. Barbados is also a member of the United Nations.
