Jamaica from 2021 is transported back in time to 1000 BC.
To avoid a mass death scenario, ASB gives Jamaica a large number of grain silos filled with enough food to both feed the island for one uear and to also have enough to sow for the next year. ASB also guides the islanders so that the first 10 harvests are very bountiful. Consequently the death toll during the first 10 years is negligible.
The first 10-20 years of life post ISOT are going to be spent on getting used to the new life. Cities are going to be depopulated and their inhabitants are going to live in the countryside. Old skills like blacksmithing, shoemaking or tailoring are going to be rediscovered and put to mass use. Cars are going to be abandoned and their bodies reused as scrap as fuel and spare parts run out. Electricity is going to disappear from majority of the country as the powerplants run out of fuel. After 15-20 years a new lifestyle roughly comparable to early 20th century is going to emerge although a lot of more advanced knowledge in form of books is going to survive and be put to use.
Questions:.
Can Jamaica remain a single state or will it split into several countries.
How long until enough shipbuilding experience is gained so that long distance travel can begin? Will the Jamaicans colonize the Americas?
How long until contact with Europe is established and what will be the nature of that contact?
How long until Jamaica industrializes?
