Hello to my all readers today my blog is a connected chain to explore Caribbean Islands .So my first country to discuss today is BAHAMAS .
Before starting history is very important to discuss.
HISTORY:
Before going to discuss there independence lets go back to 1703 to 1718 .The NASSAU the capital of Bahamas is the heaven of pirates because there is no governess so it is taken by 1000 pirates most famously the pirates of Caribbean.

Do you know the most famous pirate Edward tech aka Blackbeard had its base at Nassau.

Britishers rule Bahamas over 325 years. Finally at 10th July 1973 Bahamas got independence under the leadership of Lynden O.pindling but even today head of the state is Queen Elizabeth II.
