In 1959, the islands became a territory within the Federation of the West Indies. When the Federation dissolved in 1962, the Cayman Islands chose to remain a British dependency. %%menu-geo %%cols-r * %%icon-geo,geo %% [Geography|Geography/Territories_Oceans_and_Islands/Cayman_Islands/Geography] * %%icon-geo,maps %% [Maps|Geography/Territories_Oceans_and_Islands/Cayman_Islands/Maps] * %%icon-geo,culture %% [Culture|Geography/Territories_Oceans_and_Islands/Cayman_Islands/Culture] ---- * %%icon-geo,special %% [Special Information|Geography/Territories_Oceans_and_Islands/Cayman_Islands/Special_Information] * %%icon-geo,picture %% [Pictures|Geography/Territories_Oceans_and_Islands/Cayman_Islands/Pictures] * %%icon-geo,community %% [Community Contributions|Geography/Territories_Oceans_and_Islands/Cayman_Islands/Community_Contributions] %% %% [{Metadata Suchbegriff='Kaimaninseln'}]
