British Honduras
British Honduras was the name of a territory on the east coast of Central America, south of Mexico, after it became a British crown colony in 1862. In 1964 it became a self-governing colony. The colony was renamed Belize in June 1973〔(CARICOM - Member Country Profile - BELIZE ), Caribbean Community. (accessed 23 June 2015)〕 and gained full independence in September 1981. British Honduras was the last continental possession of the United Kingdom in the Americas.
==History==
:''For history prior to 1862 and following 1981, see History of Belize (1502-1862) and History of Belize#Independence.''
The Treaty of Versailles (1783) between Britain and Spain gave the British rights to cut logwood between the Hondo and Belize rivers. The Convention of London (1786) expanded this concession to include the area between the Belize and Sibun 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.〔Bolland, Nigel.
