Whakakihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I whakawhiwhia te mana motuhake i te 7 o Hui-tanguru 1974 i raro i te kaiarahi o Eric Gairy, nana nei i riro te Pirimia tuatahi o Grenada o te kawanatanga rangatira. I noho te whenua hou hei mema o te Commonwealth, me Kuini Erihapeti hei Tumuaki o te Kawanatanga. I te Poutu-te-rangi 1979, i whakahekea e te Marxist-Leninist New Jewel Movement te kawanatanga o Gairy i roto i te "coup d'état" kaore he toto, ka whakapumautia te Kawanatanga Huringa a te Iwi (PRG), i arahina e Maurice Bishop hei Pirimia. Kātahi ka hopukina a Bishop, ka whakamatea e ngā mema o te People's Revolutionary Army, nā reira i puta ai he pakanga nui.
Ko te whakaekenga a U.S. i te Oketopa 1983. Mai i taua wā, kua hoki mai te motu ki tētahi manapori māngai ā-paremata, ā, kua noho pūmautanga tōrangapū.
