When French settlers came to St. Kitts in 1625, they agreed to partition the island. In 1626, the French and English joined forces and killed most of the native Kalinago people on the island of St. Kitts. In 1629, the Spanish attacked St. Kitts and they deported most of the Europeans back to their homelands. The following year, Spain allowed the re-establishment of English and French settlements, and in 1670 with the Treaty of Madrid they recognized English claim to the island in exchange for helping to fight piracy. St. Kitts became the primary base for England as they expanded colonization in the Caribbean. England and France fought often for control over St. Kitts, and in 1713 with the Treaty of Utrecht France renounced their claim to the island. St. Kitts and Nevis were federated by Great Britain in 1882, a part of the West Indies Federation from 1958-1962, an associated state in 1967, and full independence in 1983 although they decided to stay with the British Commonwealth.[1] |
