History
1983 invasion
Marxist Prime Minister Maurice Bishop came to power in a bloodless coup in 1979. On 19 October 1983, Bishop was executed in a coup supported by the Grenada People's Revolutionary Army. On October 25, Grenada was invaded by more than 7,000 military personnel from the United States and six Caribbean nations. They were resisted by fewer than 1,200 soldiers from the People's Revolutionary Army (PRA). The coup leaders were arrested and a new government was appointed by the Governor-General.
