| Abstract: | Message by the Prime Minister Dr Eric Williams on the eighth anniversary of Trinidad and Tobago Independence. When we achieved our Independence on August 31, 1962, the tide of decolonisation was at its height. France had been decisively defeated in Vietnam; the UAR had taken over the Suez Canal; Algeria had won its war of liberation; Ghana, Nigeria and Tanzania had achieved their Independence. The Independence movement had also spread to the Caribbean, and Jamaica’s National Day precedes our own by a few days. |
