Introduction
A History of Belize, Nation in the Making traces the history of Belize. It focuses on how Belize became what it is today. This website takes us on a journey through time and gives us the opportunity to study the complex society we see today in this small Central American nation. History is never complete for it is created every day. The people, places and events presented in this website demonstrates how important history is to a nation. Belize cannot move constructively into the future unless it understands the past and benefits from that knowledge.
