[edit] Political history of Anguilla

Anguilla was once part of the Federation of St. Kitts - Nevis - Anguilla. In 1967 a referendum was held resulting in a vote in favour of secession and became a self-governing British colony. In 1969, a self-declared 'Republic of Anguilla' was established, but was overthrown within a month. Anguilla remains a colony to this day.
