Short summary being that in the 1960s after independence, economic recession, high unemployment that was even higher among youths and Afro Trinidadians feeling disenfranchised by the government, tensions cumulated in a general strike after a protester was killed by the police. The general strike was accompanied by large scale marches by agitated crowds. The government declared a State of Emergency and arrested some leaders of the movement. In response a military mutiny took place and the mutineers marched on Port of Spain (capital of Trinidad and definitely not in Spain) they where fortunately stopped by the Coast Gaurd, but what if the mutineers had gotten into Port of Spain and attempted to overthrow Eric Williams (Trinidadian Premier at the time) What might Britain or America do? The movement was anti capitalist as well.

I know that there are not many people from T&T on this forum, but I hope that at least some people other than Trinis would be interested in this
