New Nations


I constantly have to remind myself that many of the eastern Caribbean islands are fairly young countries.  You can see the list below for the specifics but self rule has really only come about in the last 6 decades.

Antigua and Barbuda - November 1, 1981
Barbados - November 30, 1966
Dominica - November 3, 1978
Grenada - February 7, 1974
Saint Kitts and Nevis - September 19, 1983
Saint Luca - February 22, 1979
St Vincent and the Grenadines - October 27, 979
Trinidad and Tobago - August 31, 1962

Shocking right?!  Some are so young.
