Belize and the British Empire

Belize as a part of the British Empire:

1) The name of the colony where it is located is British Honduras.
2) It became a British colony in 1862 when the British claimed the right to administer the region.
3) Belize benefited the British because they used them for slavery and cheap labour, especially for cutting timber.
4) The colonies economic conditions got real bad and they made this "Peoples Committee" and the peoples committee demanded Independence.
5) The British Honduras people earned the most money per slave of all the British territories.
