Why Isn’t the West Indies a Single Country? (Encore)

If you have ever looked at a map of the Caribbean, you might have noticed that the tiny islands in the Lesser Antilles consist of a whole bunch of tiny, independent countries. All of these countries became independent around the same time and got their independence from the same country: Great Britain. Given their common history and location, why are they a bunch of separate tiny countries rather than one larger one? Learn more about the West Indies and their modern history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily. Sponsors Expedition Unknown Find out the truth behind popular, bizarre legends.
