The first West Indian territory to gain independence was Jamaica, which achieved independence from the United Kingdom on August 6, 1962. This marked a significant milestone in the decolonization of the Caribbean region, inspiring other territories to seek self-governance. Following Jamaica, several other Caribbean nations also gained independence in the subsequent years.
