British Protectorate of Cattala

The British Protectorate of Cattala was a British Protectorate in Cattala between 1943 and 1951. After the liberation of Cattala by Allied forces in 1943 a new government was formed by the British authorities in the country that would govern the island indefinitely after the island was extensively damaged during the war. Following the foundation of the UN, the British Mandate over Cattala was replaced by a transitional government with the intention of forming a wholly independent state by 1952.
