Spice Isle of the Caribbean
Grenada is a small island nation in the Caribbean known for its beautiful beaches, lush rainforests, and vibrant culture. It has a history of colonization by the French and British before gaining independence in 1974. In 1983, Grenada was invaded by the United States following a coup d'état and has since become a stable democracy. The country's economy is largely dependent on tourism, agriculture (particularly nutmeg), and services. Grenada is also a member of the Commonwealth of Nations and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). Its rich history and natural beauty make it a popular destination for tourists seeking sun, sand, and relaxation.
