Catch 44- WGBX-Boston {Public Access Channel}: Community association’s internationalization initiatives on the Colonial-Situation in British Honduras, the last colonial outpost on the mainland of the Americas — Spotlight on the Anglo-Guatemala Territorial Dispute — Dennis Young, host and moderator.
British Honduras was the former name of what is now the independent nation of Belize, when it was still a British colony. First colonised by Spaniards in the seventeenth century, the territory on the east coast of Central America, south of Mexico, became a British crown colony from 1862 until 1964, when it became self-governing. Belize became fully independent from the United Kingdom in 1981. Belize was the last continental possession of the United Kingdom in the Americas. The Treaty of Versailles (1783) between Britain and Spain, gave the British rights to cut logwood between the Hondo and Belize rivers. In 1862, the Settlement of Belize in the Bay of Honduras was declared a British colony called British Honduras, and the crown’s representative was elevated to a lieutenant governor, subordinate to the governor of Jamaica.
