The Caribbean was the most valuable—and the deadliest—battleground of the 18th-century British Empire. This documentary uncovers the brutal Caribbean Sugar Wars, where Redcoats fought not only French and Spanish armies, but the far greater enemies of heat, jungle terrain, and yellow fever. From the War of Jenkins’ Ear to the Seven Years’ War, tiny islands like Guadeloupe, Martinique, and Havana became the centre of global power and the key to controlling the world’s most profitable commodity: sugar.
Explore the forgotten campaigns where British regiments perished by the thousands, where naval armadas clashed against fortress-cities, and where entire empires gambled their future on islands smaller than London itself. This is the shocking, overlooked story of how the Caribbean reshaped Britain’s rise—and why so many Redcoats never returned home.
If you love military history, the Redcoat era, naval warfare, or deep dives into the British Empire, this is a must-watch.
