Montserrat dubbed the "Emerald Isle of the Caribbean," is a UK overseas territory in the Lesser Antilles. Plymouth, its former capital, was devastated by volcanic eruptions, leading to relocation to Brades. Christopher Columbus discovered it in 1493. The island boasts a diverse culture influenced by Africa, North America, and Europe. Despite eruptions altering its landscape, Montserrat remains rich in natural beauty. The population, predominantly of African descent, faced emigration due to volcanic crises. The economy, reliant on tourism and agriculture, struggled post-natural disasters. Montserratians maintain cultural traditions, cuisine, and a resilient spirit. Political history includes shifts in governance and challenges with independence.
