The territory known as Belize was settled by the British in the 17th century, however it was not until 1862 that the territory became a Crown Colony (British Honduras) governed from Jamaica.

The colony achieved complete internal independence in 1964 adopting the name Belize in in 1973.

Belize became an independent state within the Commonwealth of Nations in 1981
