As of 1912, the British West Indies were divided into eight colonies: The Bahamas, Barbados, British Guiana, British Honduras, Jamaica (with its dependencies the Turks and Caicos Islands and the Cayman Islands), Trinidad and Tobago, the Windward Islands and the Leeward Islands. Between 1958 and 1962 all of the island territories except the British Virgin Islands, the Bahamas, British Honduras and British Guiana were organised into the West Indies Federation. It was hoped that the Federation would become independent as a single nation, but it had limited powers, many practical problems and a lack of popular support.

has gloss	ita: Il termine Indie Occidentali Britanniche (British West Indies) è riferito ai territori posizionati nei Caraibi che un tempo erano stati colonizzati dal Regno Unito . Collettivamente questi territori sono conosciuti come i Caraibi anglofoni. Tra il 1958 ed il 1962 tutti questi territori eccetto le isole Vergini britanniche e le Bahamas si organizzarono allinterno della Federazione delle Indie Occidentali. Si sperava che la federazione divenisse una singola nazione indipendente, ma i limitati poteri, molti problemi pratici e la mancanza del supporto popolare lhanno costretta a dissolversi. La maggior parte dei grandi territori sono ora indipendenti e separati nel Commonwealth delle nazioni, mentre quelli più piccoli sono parte dei territori britannici d'oltremare. Tutte le nazioni delle Indie Occidentali Britanniche, eccetto Dominica, sono parte del reame del Commonwealth.
