Throughout history, St. Vincent and The Grenadines have been defined by domestic events. Whether it be political or historical events, these have caused outsiders to view the people of St Vincent a special way. Historically, St. Vincent has mostly not been known as an independent nation. In fact, for most of its history, the people of St. Vincent and The Grenadines have seen and been dominated by not only French conquers but the British as well.  After being inhabited by early Africans, the colonization of St. Vincent and The Grenadines would soon begin.
