214th Anniversary Of The Battle Of St. George's Caye

214th Anniversary Of The Battle Of St. George's Caye | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Decent article with a good lead in.  How about those fireworks Sunday night?

 

"A skirmish that pitted a ragtag group of British buccaneers and their slaves against a small flotilla of Spanish warships some 200 years ago was celebrated today in Belize with cultural performances, the installation of beauty queens and citizens’ parades.  What most historians describe as a myth, many Belizeans embrace as a defining moment in the history of the former British Honduras.  An incident that set the stage for continuing British occupation of territory that belonged to Spain, and eventual freedom on 21st September 1981 when Belize Independence was achieved."
