context_page_description: Saint Vincent is a volcanic island in the Caribbean. It is the largest island of the country Saint Vincent and the Grenadines island chain. It is located in the Caribbean Sea, between Saint Lucia and Grenada. It is composed of partially submerged volcanic mountains. Its largest volcano and the country's highest peak, La Soufrière, is active, having last erupted in 1979.
  There were major territory wars between the indigenous population of the Black Caribs, also called the garifuna, the United Kingdom in the 18th century, before the island was ceded to the British in 1763 and again in 1783. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines gained independence from the British on October 27, 1979 and became part of the British Commonwealth of Nations thereafter. Approximately 130,000 people currently live on the island, and the population saw significant migration to the United Kingdom in the early 1900s and between the 1940s & 1980s. There has also been significant migration to Canada and other larger neighbouring Anglo-Caribbean islands.
