Grenada

Grenada is a country in the Caribbean Sea with a population of 106,000. As reported by the BBC, "Grenada made the world headlines in 1983 when a split in the governing left-wing party led to the overthrow and execution of the country's charismatic leader, Maurice Bishop, and provided the pretext for a US invasion of the islands."
