Summary:

Grenada gained independence on 7 February 1974, led by Eric Gairy, who became the country’s first prime minister. The new country joined the Commonwealth of Nations, with Queen Elizabeth II as the head of state. It is now led by King Charles III, the King of Grenada. The New Jewel Movement, a Marxist-Leninist group, peacefully overthrew Gairy’s government in March 1979. This led to the establishment of the People’s Revolutionary Government (PRG) with Maurice Bishop as prime minister. Bishop was arrested and executed by the People’s Revolutionary Army (PRA), leading to a U.S.-led invasion in October 1983. The island has since transitioned back to a parliamentary representative democracy and has maintained political stability.
