there are four main factors that affected the sugar industry in the english speaking caribbean 1838-1854
they are: labour
capital
free trade
technology
The sugar revolution has affected the Caribbean drastically as a result of the sugar revolution, there was a labour problem which was caused by the change from Tobacco to Sugar. The manufacturing and Sugar cultivation needed some workers to do manual labour . There were people who tried to get workers like the Spaniards who tried to get the Arawaks to work as slaves or through the Encomienda system ........
The Sugar Revolution was basically the transition from tobacco to sugar mainly because tobacco was no longer popular and sugar was gaining both popularity and money. Because of the Sugar Revolution, the mother countries introduced new systems of Government like the Old Representative System where Britain had more control over her colonies.
There was also more and more conflict amongst the Europeans. The 18th century was a period of war since many colonies were getting wealthy and other countries tried to grab these colonies.
As a result of the Sugar Revolution, the Dutch's power became greatly reduced because their power was based on trading.
The amount of whites reduced because the indentured labourers from Europe stopped coming in. Some whites left to live elsewhere and many white farmers sold their tobacco estates and moved to North America.
The majority of slaves in society was discriminated against since Slavery was the main system of labour and they were unfree.
The colonies became very wealthy and prosperous and the price of land sky-rocketed with the sugar revolution. The islands became monocultural colonies.
I hope this helps you.. ^ ^
1. You have to first remember that tobacco was the major cash crop in the British West Indies, up until its decline in the 1600's, this being due to heavy competition from American states such as Virginia. With the competition and a glut in the tobacco market causing price to drop, plantations could not compete. So planters were in search for a new crop and tried many crops such as cotton, indigo and coco, before arriving at sugar.
2. Sugar was perfect as there was a ready demand for sugar as a sweetener in Britain. Also remembering that it was the dutch who introduced sugar to Barbados, something that they (the dutch) were already growing in their colonize in Brazil. So the Dutch shared their knowledge of sugar cultivation with them.
3. Also since it was the dutch who introduced it, you have to remember that the dutch loved to trade and they took advantage of this in that they were the ones who supplied the the islands with what they needed to grow sugar, such as labor, well at least in the early stages.
The technology involved in the sugar production in the West Indies affected the society by its expense and environmental concerns. Cutting the sugar cane did not require complex tools but from that step, the processing the cane in to sugar crystals, molasses, and rum was complicated and expensive. Rollers, copper kettles, boilers etc. were required. The expenses of the technology led planters to run large plantations to have lower costs and greater profits. However, sugar production caused soil exhaustion and deforestation. Animal fertilizer and fallow periods could not restore the nutrients removed by repeated cultivation, so farmers moved to new open fields which sped up deforestation.
The revolution of Haiti or Hispanola or St Dominque has been rise after or during French Revolution between 1789 to 1794
The switch to sugar as the primary crop in the West Indies led to more use of African slaves. The slaves were brought to the West Indies due to the increase in the use of the Trade Winds.
This like many other instances in society is an example of when a hierarchy forms and begins traits such racism and egotism.
The sugar revolution affected the Caribbean in a adverse manner. There was a labor problem in the region which eventually resulted into low production output.
im about 80% sure but i believe that sugar cane has always been in the Caribbean
Sugar is one of the important cash crops in the Caribbean. Citrus crops including grapefruits and oranges as well as bananas are grown in the Caribbean.

The sugar revolution in the Caribbean led to the rapid expansion of sugar plantations, increased demand for African slave labor, and the transformation of the region's economy and society. It resulted in the displacement of indigenous populations, widespread exploitation of enslaved Africans, and a shift towards a plantation-based economy that centered around sugar production. The sugar revolution also contributed to the formation of the triangular trade between Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean, further entrenching the region's dependence on slavery and the export of sugar.

why is sugar cane inportant to the caribbean region
the Dutch made one of the greatest contribution to the caribbean region by providing the much needed capital to the planters, this was in exchange for the rights to the export and sale of the sugar
The sugar revolution took place in the years 1650 - 1690. This was due to the introduction in the British Caribbean colonies such as Barbados , Jamaica St Kiitts (St Christopher) etc . This new staple was introduced to the British by the Dutch. This is one of the fore reasons why the introduction of African labour as the Africans had experience in planting this crop on the Canery islands.

Uruguay did not establish sugar plantations in the Caribbean. Uruguay is located in South America, and their economy has historically been based on livestock and agriculture, with a focus on crops like soybeans, wheat, and barley. Sugar plantations in the Caribbean were mainly established by European colonial powers like Spain, Portugal, France, and the United Kingdom.
The French Revolution affected France, the Indian revolution affected India
which countries in the carribbea are not affected by itcz
