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.
Learn more about the odd story of the 1967 Anguilla Revolution on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
