A Timeline Of Carnival History And Related Events And People
Carnival’s development in Trinidad is intimately related to the island’s political and social history. It connects in both obvious and unexpected ways to the European hunt for gold, the enslaving and trading of West African peoples, the French Revolution, freedom fighters across the world and even discarded oil drums in Trinidad!
The events in this section are all connected directly or indirectly to the
development of Trinidad Carnival and subsequently to the development of carnival
in Britain.
