The Bahamas and Jamaica were formerly under British colonial rule. Jamaica became a British colony in 1655 and gained independence in 1962, while the Bahamas was colonized in the 17th century and achieved independence in 1973. Both islands are now members of the Commonwealth of Nations, retaining ties to the British monarchy.
Sir Lynden Pindling, the first Prime Minister of The Bahamas, played a pivotal role in achieving majority rule in the country. His leadership during the 1960s helped to mobilize the Bahamian populace against colonial rule, advocating for political and social reforms that culminated in the 1967 general elections. Pindling's progressive policies and vision for an independent Bahamas significantly contributed to the establishment of a democratic system that prioritized the rights and voices of the majority. His efforts laid the foundation for the nation’s subsequent independence in 1973.
