Jamaica's Bauxite Industry

The discovery came at a opportune time. The world was embroiled in World War II, pushing up the demand for aluminium. Until then, little attention was paid to finding new sources of bauxite/alumina outside of Europe but the requirement to build planes and other equipment made from aluminum drove the need for new sources.
