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.
