Guyana was not a part of the West Indies Federation, which existed from 1958 to 1962, primarily due to political and socioeconomic differences. The country's leadership, particularly under Prime Minister Cheddi Jagan, was concerned that federation would limit its autonomy and that the federation's structure favored the more developed islands. Additionally, there were significant regional disparities and a lack of consensus among the territories about the benefits of a unified government, which ultimately led to Guyana opting out of the federation.
