Oliver Cromwell is believed to have contracted malaria during his time in the Caribbean, particularly during the expedition to the island of Hispaniola in the 1650s. The disease was prevalent in tropical regions, and his military campaigns exposed him to the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses. Malaria was common among European forces operating in these areas, making it likely that he contracted the disease during his service there.
