The St. Kittitian and Nevisian Civil War {1984-1987} was a conflict between the Federation of Saint Christopher and Nevis and a communist uprising, backed by, you guessed it, the USSR. The conflict started as a result of tension and worry from a communist party rising and taking power. This led to distrust between the government. The USSR took advantage of this and funded communist militias in the nation, leading to the war. It was a communist victory. The People's Republic of Saint Christopher and Nevis was created, which lasted from 1987-1996. The war is known as a dark age for St. Kitts and Nevis and is a controversial subject today.
