St. Lucia is an island nation in the eastern Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. It is part of the Lesser Antilles and is located north of the islands of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and south of Martinique. Saint Lucia, mainly because of the strategic importance of the natural harbor at Castries, was long disputed between France and Great Britain, changing the property for 14 times between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It was only in 1814 that the British were able to establish itself permanently. The British colony of St. Lucia became an associated state March 1, 1967, and independent in 1979.
