Saint Vincent is a volcanic island in the Caribbean. It is the largest island of the chain called Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. It is located in the Caribbean Sea, between Saint Lucia and Grenada. It is composed of partially submerged volcanic mountains. La Soufrière is still an active volcano. The territory was disputed between France and the United Kingdom in the 18th century, before being ceded to the British in 1763 and again in 1783. The British colony of St. Vincent became an associated state in 1969 and independent on October 27, 1979.

Federation of the West Indies
Map of the Caraiben
The Federation of the West Indies was a short-lived political union that existed from 3 January 1958 to 31 May 1962. Various islands in the Caribbean that were colonies of the United Kingdom, came together to form the Federation, with its capital in Trinidad. The intention was to create a political unit that would become independent from Britain as a single state, however, before that could happen, the Federation collapsed due to internal political conflicts.
