Chinese in Trinidad and Tobago

Background
Chinese settlement in Trinidad and Tobago began in 1806, with the arrival of the ship Fortitude. This ship carried a group of Chinese men from Macau, Penang, and Calcutta. Between 1853 and 1866, 2,645 Chinese immigrants went to Trinidad as indentured laborers for the sugar and cacao plantations. The Chinese migration after 1911 was a result of the Chinese revolution. Between 1920s and 1940s, Chinese migration increased. Then it came to a stop during the period of the Chinese revolution.
