In 1816 St Kitts, Nevis, Anguilla and the Virgin Islands formed a single British colony. At various points in their history they were distinct units. St Kitts & Nevis were part of the short-lived West Indies Federation, 1958 - 1961. After the break-up of the Federation, St Kitts, Nevis and Anguilla formed a State of Association with Great Britain, with complete internal self-government but there was a history of internal strains with this arrangement, which ended in 1980 with Anguilla reverting to the status of a dependent British colony and St Kitts & Nevis proceeding to independent nationhood in September 1983. </p> <p><strong>UWI Connections:</strong> <a href="http://www.open.uwi.edu/st_kitts_nevis/">The UWI Open Campus – St. Kitts Nevis</a> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="full box-charcoal" id="footer"> <div id="footer-bottom" class="full box-charcoal"> <div class="container12"> <div class="column12 alpha fullrow"> <div class="column4 omega major pt-1" id="col3"> <p> The University of the West Indies<br /> Regional Headquarters<br /> Kingston 7, Jamaica, W.I.</p> <p><strong>Tel:</strong> (876) 927-1660-9 Exts. 2336/2339<br /> <strong>Fax:</strong> (876)927-0253<br /> <strong>Email:</strong> vcoffice@uwimona.edu.jm</p>  </div> <div class="column3 omega" id="col1"> <h5>Information for</h5> <ul class="row"> <li><a href="http://my.uwi.edu/web/mycampus/home">Students</a></li> <li><a href="https://uwi.edu/alumnionline/">Alumni & Friends</a></li> <li><a href="staff.php">Faculty & Staff</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="column3 omega major" id="col2"> <h5>Information About</h5> <ul> <li><a href="about.php">About Us</a></li> <li><a href="http://apps.uwi.edu/programmes/">Programmes</a></li> <li><a href="admissions.php">Admissions</a></li> <li><a href="administration.php">Administration</a></li> <li><a href="campuses.php">Our Campuses</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="column2 omega major"> <h5>Connect</h5> <ul class="row"> <li><a href="mediacentre.php">Media Centre</a></li> <li><a href="contactus.php">Contact Us</a></li> <li><a href="https://uwi.edu/jobs">Jobs</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="footer-bottom" class="full box-black"> <div class="container12"> <div class="column12 alpha pt-3" id="footer-copyright"> <p>© Copyright 2012-2024 The University of the West Indies.
