Attempts to control the celebration of Aashurah Hosay by the India n population culminated in the Hosay Riots in 1884.

In response to poor working conditions and inadequate pay, the British West Indian labour unrest of 1934 1939 Labour riots of 1937 shook Trinidad and led to the birth of the trade union movement. Labour problems again resulted in unrest in 1965. The rise of the Black Power movement late in the 1960s culminated in the 1970 Black Power Revolution which threatened the government of Prime Minister Eric Williams .

- Périgordian
Unreferenced date August 2009 P rigordian is a term for several distinct but related Upper Upper Palaeolithic archaeological culture cultures which are thought by some archaeologists to represent a contiguous tradition . It existed between c.35,000 BP and c.20,000 BP. The earliest culture in the tradition is known as the Ch telperronian which produced denticulate tool s and distinctive flint knives. It is argued that this was superseded by the Gravettian with its Font Robert points and Noailles burin s. The tradition culminated in the proto Magdalenian . Critics have pointed out that no continuous sequence of P rigordian occupation has yet been found and that the tradition requires it to have co existed separately from the Aurignacian industry rather than being differing industries that existed before and afterwards.
