British Ceylon
Ceylon (Sinhala: britaany lNkaav, Brithanya Lamkava; Tamil: pirittaannniy ilngkai, Birithaniya Ilangai) was the British Crown colony of present-day Sri Lanka between 1815 and 1948. Initially the area it covered did not include the Kingdom of Kandy, which was a protectorate, but from 1817 to 1948 the British possessions included the whole island of Ceylon, now the nation of Sri Lanka.
