Grenada |
|
|
An island in the West Indies. A British
colony since the 18th century, Grenada became an independent state in
1974. A military coup in 1983 prompted an invasion by the United States,
with the participation of six neighboring Caribbean nations. Cuban
military advisers were expelled, and civilian government was restored.
Allied forces withdrew in 1985
