Colony of Cattala

The Colony of Cattala was a British Colony from 1814 to 1860. The colony consisted of the Cattalian islands, including Hellas, Ontano and Roumeli. Formed after the 1814 Treaty of Paris gave Britain control over Malta, the Kingdom of Cattala was threatened by the Royal Navy and the islands surrendered. The country remained under British rule until it was invaded and captured by Italian nationalists in 1860.
