Anguilla A small island in the Caribbean, it came under British sovereignty in 1650 and was administered from the island of St Christopher (St Kitts) from the nineteenth century. In 1956, it became part of the colony of
St Christopher and Nevis, but when this gained independence in 1967 Anguilla rebelled, asking for continued British protection. Its political and constitutional system was finally settled in 1982, when it became a British Dependent Territory with a Governor appointed by the British Crown. From 1984 it was governed by the centre-right Antigua National Alliance (ANA) under Emile R. Gumbs, who was succeeded in 2000 by Osbourne Fleming of the ANA.
