Quick Summary

The People's Revolutionary Government (PRG) was established in Grenada on March 13, 1979, following a bloodless coup by the New Jewel Movement (NJM) that ousted Prime Minister Eric Gairy. Led by Maurice Bishop, the PRG implemented socialist reforms and received aid from Cuba, which raised concerns in the United States. Internal conflict within the NJM led to a military coup on October 13, 1983, during which Bishop was killed. This event prompted a U.S.-led invasion on October 25, 1983, which overthrew the military council and restored Paul Scoon as governor-general, leading to the eventual return of constitutional government.12
