British West Indies

 


The term British West Indies refers to territories in and around the Caribbean which were at one time colonised by the United Kingdom.[1] Collectively these territories are also now known as the Anglophone Caribbean. Between 1958 and 1962 all of the island territories except the British Virgin Islands and the Bahamas were organised into the West Indies Federation. It was hoped that the Federation would become independent as a single nation, but it had limited powers, many practical problems and a lack of popular support, and was consequently dissolved. Most of the territories, including all the larger ones, are now independent as separate countries in the Commonwealth of Nations, while some of the smaller ones remain British dependencies. All the nations of the British West Indies, except Dominica are Commonwealth Realms.
