rum and coke achieved a new level of popularity during world war ii. starting in 1940, the united states established a series of outposts in the british west indies to defend against the german navy. the american presence created cross-cultural demand, with american servicemen and the locals developing tastes for each other's products. in particular, american military personnel took to caribbean rum due to its inexpensiveness, while coca-cola became especially prevalent in the islands thanks to the company shipping it out with the military. within the united states, imported rum became increasingly popular, as government quotas for industrial alcohol reduced the output of american distillers of domestic liquors. in 1943, lord invader's calypso song "rum and coca-cola" drew further attention to the drink in trinidad. the song was an adaptation of lionel belasco's 1904 composition "l'année passée" with new lyrics about american soldiers in trinidad cavorting with local girls and drinking rum and coke. comedian morey amsterdam plagiarized "rum and coca-cola" and licensed it to the andrews sisters as his own work. the andrews sisters' version was a major hit in 1945 and further boosted the popularity of rum and coke, especially in the military. lord invader and the owners of belasco's composition successfully sued amsterdam for the song's rights.
