When did Jamaica recieve its independence from England?

Jamaica received its independence from England on August 6, 1962. After more than 300 years of British colonization, the island nation successfully fought for self-government and ended its status as a British colony. The journey towards independence began with the formation of political parties and movements advocating for self-rule. Under the leadership of figures such as Norman Manley and Alexander Bustamante, the push for independence gained momentum, culminating in Jamaica being granted full independence within the Commonwealth in 1962.
