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.
