Claim: On 11 July 1967, Anguilla held a referendum on secession from the associated state of Saint Christopher-Nevis-Anguilla (granted associated-state status by Britain on 27 February 1967), following Anguillan objection to continued political subservience to Saint Kitts and the 30 May 1967 eviction of Saint Kitts police from the island; the referendum recorded 1,813 votes for secession against 5.
