There was no way Britain was going to pull out of that vast country without maintaining a degree of influence. Britain helped create Pakistan (divide and 'rule' - or at least arm both sides) and left them to fight over Kashmir.

Jamaica has a lot of natural and unplumbed resources; I think that eventually they will like Barbados be found to have either natural gas or petroleum offshore, which would make them the real jewel of the Caribbean. </div></div>I doubt that strongly by the time Britain gave up Jamaica Britain was in a very weakened state after WWII. It had become more expensive to hold on to even the richest Colonies than the keep them.

Not to say that Britain did not try a little divide and conquer early out. They did fight 2 wars with the Maroons and lost. They did use the Maroons to capture their runaways but they did not chop up the country and give choice areas to the minority nor did they parachute new racial/cultural/religious stock in to be the overseers as they did in the other places that have become the poster child of what went wrong with British Imperialism.

For the most part Jamaica destruction was of 70s vintage 10 years post Independence, decades after Slavery and Self-Rule and cannot be blamed on the British. In Pakistan-India, Israel-Palestine, Iraq, and Afghanistan the problems never went away, but lay smoldering at surface level to ignite with deadly consequences every few years.
