SAINT LUCIA
WAS UNDER
BRITISH RULE
FOR 176 YEARS
15
In 1967, led by Sir John George Melvin
Compton, Saint Lucia became an associated
state — a semi-independent political status
before gaining or becoming an independent state in the
British Commonwealth. A birth he saw as a tool for Saint
Lucia's own economic development.
