Cayman Islands (The Era of Relative Peace)

The Cayman Islands (/ˈkeɪmən/ or /keɪˈmæn/) is an autonomous British Overseas Territory in the western Caribbean Sea. The 264-square-kilometer (102-square-mile) territory comprises the three islands of Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman located south of Cuba, northeast of Costa Rica, north of Panama, east of Mexico and northwest of Jamaica.

The islands are well known as an offshore financial heaven for the wealthy and the influential people of the world.

World War III
The Cayman Islands proximity to Cuba was a concern for the Ministry of Defense. When Cuba invaded the Turks and Caicos Islands, a contingent of 500 British Troops and 250 Royal Marines were deployed to the defense of the islands. The Cubans never invaded the islands but the MOD took it as a precaution. During the war, many rich individuals were concerned of what would become of their offshore bank account on the Caymans.
