    Colonisation involved establishing class structures, land ownership models, investment opportunities, commerce, and importantly, sourcing labor forces. The sugar industry was made successful through the widespread use of African slaves, with millions shipped to Cuba between the 17th and 19th centuries. The industry took an economic and technological perspective to maximize agricultural output and increase the size of the labor force for sugar production. Cuba led the world in sugar production in the late 18th/early 19th century, accounting for 25% of global production.
