Jamaica gained it's Independence from Britain in 1962, though is was ruled by the Spanish for over 100 years prior to the British taking control in 1655. Britain held onto Jamaica for a whopping 307 years. Independence was and is considered a good thing by many Jamaicans, but in the modern era, almost 60% of Jamaican citizens say they'd prefer to be ruled by the British again, very different from most former British colonies.
