The Caribbean's island  were colonized by Europe, but more exactly the Antilles.

They are situated on the Caribbean sea.

Territories are still dominated by the French territory.

However other Islands are colonized, for exemple the Guadeloupe, Martinique,Saint barthelemy and Saint Martin.

The Guadeloupe it's a departement and a region of besides sea European but it is an outermost region of European, so it consists of two lands: basse-terre and big earth.

The basse-terre is a French island small Antille and big earth is nicknamed the little Bretagne of Antille, a French island who represent east wing of buterfly that formed the two principal islands on Guadeloupe.

It is the most populoud island.

While the Martinique is a French departement, situated on the Caribbean particularly on archipelago little Antille.

The first French colonize was in 1635 by Pierre Belain.

So Saint Martin is place 250 km north of Guadeloupe, she has 75000 habitants.

She is sharing between two state separated by a border 10 km, separating the French portion and Neerlandaise portion.

The French portion is on the north of island.

In closing saint barthelemy is a French island too and the september 6th was devasted by Irma.
