Under colonial rule, India's population provided the British Empire with a ready source of cheap and mobile labourers. Many Indians agreed to become indentured labourers to escape the widespread poverty and famine in the 19th century.

The Caribs inhabited mainly the Winward islands. It is thought that the original population of Amerindian inhabitants of the West Indies was several million.
