BRITISH DEPENDENCY OF SAINT VINCENT
In 1660 the island of St. Vincent - claimed by England and by France - was declared neutral. (1) The island remained however a source of conflicts until, by the Treaty of Paris of 1763, it was finally granted to the United Kingdom. The island became part of the administrative union of the Windward Islands in 1833. (1) Meaning it was left to the indigenous Carib Indians, who were only submitted by the British after their revolt of 1795. (Unlike it was the case in Dominica, they then gradually vanished, mixing with the black population of the island) __________________________________________________________________________________BRITISH ADMINISTRATORS
