Anguilla is the most northerly of the Leeward Islands in the Lesser Antilles, and is an internally self-governing British overseas territory. The United Nations Committee on Decolonization includes Anguilla on the United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories. Military defence is the responsibility of the United Kingdom.

First colonized by English settlers in 1650, Anguilla was incorporated into a single British dependency along with the neighbouring islands of Saint Kitts and Nevis in the early 19th century, much to the objections of many Anguillans. In 1980, however, Anguilla formally withdrew from the territory, becoming a separate British dependency, which it remains.
