HISTORY TITBITS

THE 1919 VICTORY CARNIVAL

2018 marked 100 years since World War I ended. The Caribbean people who fought in this war would return to change the course of our history in the colonies as we know it. Carnival in Trinidad however, was banned during the latter part of the War years (1916—1918). Despite talk from British Colonial authorities of banning it for good, Carnival resumed in 1919 with a “Victory Carnival” marking the historic victory in war. This event was organised by the newly established Trinidad Guardian newspaper (1917). By their actions, Carnival gradually became a national expression with extensive media coverage.
