Although Jamaican bauxite was never used in World War II the war sparked a ripple effect which gave birth to the bauxite industry Jamaica's first shipment of bauxite occurred in 1952 and subsequently in 1957 the island was known as the world's leading bauxite producer! The Uses of Bauxite in Jamaica
