Since 70th of XIX century the capital of the USA actively took root into economy of Jamaica. In 1959 Jamaica has achieved internal self-management Since 1962 Jamaica became the independent state as a part of British Commonwealth.

In the III thousand beginning BC rural communities arose in flat territories in pool of Indus where people began to adapt to other conditions of dwelling, on the neighbourhood with boggy districts on coast of the rivers and among rainforests. Annual high waters as a result of snow thawing in upper courses of the great rivers brought fertile silt in valleys and by that promoted agriculture development, but at the same time carried also the big corruptings. The rivers, being transport paths, simultaneously facilitated attacks of enemies. At last, extensive alluvial plains, being exclusively fertile, have been deprived mineral resources that has caused development of commercial relations with remote areas. All these circumstances stimulated association of efforts of people and fast development of a civilisation. Harappsky civilisation,Or the civilisation of a valley of Indus, has appeared apprx. 2500 BC and has existed in initial boundaries about one thousand years. Its territory was stretched on 1600 km: from coast of Arabian sea in the south to foothills of the Himalayas in the north, the eastern frontier reached a valley of the river of Jumna (in area Delhi) and to Mumbai (Bombay) at coast, and a total area is estimated in 1300 thousand in sq. km. Mohendzho-Daro and Harappa. In heyday of the Harappsky civilisation it has been constructed over 800 cities and settlements. Largest of known cities: Mohendzho-Daro on the bank of Indus in Sinde and Harappa on coast Ravi in Punjab — both square apprx. 2,5 sq. km. In each of them on high platforms from clay and a brick the strengthened citadels have been erected, and also there were big granaries (in Harappe — near to the river, in Mohendzho-Daro — in a citadel).
