Overview

Trinidad and Tobago

Trinidad and Tobago's existence as a sovereign state has been quite brief thus far in the grand scheme of things, having only become independent in 1962, then becoming a republic fourteen years later.

Eric Williams

Dr. Eric Eustace Williams was the first and longest-serving Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago.

Dawn of Man

Leaderscene by DarthStarkiller

Your people welcome you, Dr. Eric Williams, Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago! You began your career as an academic historian, but in the 1940s and 1950s you entered the public sphere. In 1956 you founded the People's National Movement, and in 1959 you became Premier of the British colonial government. After three years you led the country to independence, and would remain its Prime Minister until your death in 1981.

Trinidad and Tobago have been conquered by many empires - the British, the French, the Spanish, and even the Couronians have colonized these islands at some time or another. And now, Prime Minister Williams, they are surrounded by power-hungry invaders once more. Will you protect your country from the forces of imperialism and colonialism? Can you build a civilization to stand the test of time?

Introduction: "Welcome to Trinidad and Tobago. This is a country with equality of all in the eyes of the law, where we recognize the subordination of the rights of any one race to the overriding rights of the human race."

Defeat: "You imperialists will be unable to carry on for much longer, and we colonial peoples will certainly be disinclined to tolerate this."

Events and Decisions

Capitalism and Slavery

Our doctoral thesis, 'The Economic Aspects of the Abolition of the Slave Trade and West Indian Slavery', critiqued imperialism, using the history of slavery in our own country as context. If we published it as a book, we could gain favor with other victims of imperialism.
