Leopold Kohr (more information)
"His enthusiasm for small states makes him well-known as fighter for the independence of Wales and of Anguilla, a small Caribbean island. In 1967 Anguilla declared its independence and closed the door to the British governor. At this time Kohr was a lecturer at the University of Puerto Rico and eager to help the Anguillians."
"With the help of American and Canadian friends he organized a "
state founding action" and drew the world's attention to Anguilla. Due to
Kohr's strength and support the island prohibited the large structure of
American hotels and a basis for the ships of Aristotle Onassis, the Greek
shipping businessman."
"Nevertheless, after two years the "Anguilla-Project" was closed by the Wilson Government in London. Anguilla kept its own administrator but again a British governor."
