The 1967 Anguilla Revolution

In 1967, the tiny Caribbean island of Anguilla launched one of the strangest revolutions in modern history. Its people were not fighting to escape the British Empire, but to remain a part of it, rather than be governed from the neighboring island of St. Kitts. What followed included the expulsion of police, a breakaway republic, an invasion by British troops, and a constitutional battle that lasted for years.
