If you have ever looked at a map of the Caribbean, you might have noticed that the tiny islands in the Lesser Antilles consist of a whole bunch of tiny, independent countries. 

All of these countries became independent around the same time, got their independence from the same country: Great Britain.

Learn more about the West Indies and their modern history, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
