One of the main reasons why most smaller Caribbean countries were able to gain independence peacefully is because the "mother" countries such as Great Britain were more concerned with larger colonies and decolonization of places like Africa, which posed great issues to be handled.
All three governments wanted to be superior and they did act that way. But soon, it caused many issues. This is probably not the best answer but I hope it kind of helps :)
Hey there, mate. Here is your answer. If if it doesn't help, let me know.
Answer: Progressivism was the reform movement that ran from the late 19th Century through the first decades of the 20th Century, during which leading intellectuals and social reformers in the United States sought to address the economic, political, and cultural questions that had risen in the context of the rapid changes brought with the Industrial Revolution and the growth of modern capitalism in America. The Progressives believed that these changes marked the end of the old order and required the creation of a new order appropriate for the new industrial age.
Hope this helps.
