missionaries hostage and the Spanish were not
willing to pit their fighting skills against a
skilled enemy and the rugged terrain of Dominica.
In fact, this attitude pretty much summed up how
the next wave of European colonists, the English
and the French, were to feel when they arrived in
Dominica at the start of the 1600 's. The English

Caribbean in order to tap into the riches that lay
in exploiting...

... ered around, it was be painfully obvious that
this could only mean one thing: the resource is
very abundant now, compared with the demand for
that resource. However, the only thing that this

resources so quickly, there doesn't appear to be
as much scarcity as there once ...

Third World Nations Developed Countries

The current economic situation of third-world
nations is in part the result of low levels of
development, their backward industry, and
old-fashioned agricultural methods. It is
understandable why their economies have leftovers
of colonialism. The third-world nations, with 70
per cent of the world's population, survive on
only 30 per cent of the world's GNP. Their per
capita income is only one-twelfth of that of the
other countries, and the divergence is still
