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.
