Antigua-Barbuda-Montserrat was a British colony in the West Indies from 1816 to 1833, established following the dissolution of the British Leeward Islands. During its existence, the hold of slavery over the islands began to wane, culminating in mass riots in 1831 that resulted in improved rights for much of the population and the reunification of the British Leeward Islands.
