For Your Next Holiday Travel To The Caribbean Archipelago
The West Indies, currently called the Caribbean, is a group of countries and territories that includes the chain of islands and the marine (Caribbean Sea) encircling it. The archipelago is enclosed by North, Central, and South America. Christopher Columbus mistakenly deemed in the first part of 1490s that he had arrived in the “Indies” section of Asia, thus the name West Indies. These days, the Caribbean belongs to the most well-known cruise and vacation destinations across the world.
History
The West Indian history started long before the European immigrants came to the archipelago. Three tribes namely the Arawaks, the Ciboney, and the Caribs inhabited majority of the islands since 1500BC. With the arrival of the earliest European in the person of Christopher Columbus in 1492 and the creation of the first Spanish settlement in 1496, the indigenous people were slowly forced to scatter out from their own land.
By 1600s, many other European nations have already battled and subdued islands in the location. The West Indies was divided by areas under Spain, France, the Netherlands, and the British Empire. Several areas blossomed into trading spots and others, into sugarcane farms developed by slaves from Africa. The European superpowers remained strongholds until the early part of the twentieth century. The United States made its appearance in the West Indian history in the 1800s, as it influenced and reigned over the Caribbean economic climate.
Although the majority of the islands have received independence, a few even now remains colonies of European nations until presently.
People, Culture, and Lifestyle
The West Indian ancestry is a blend of the locals and the citizens from the foreign nations which colonized them. Dominant races consist of Africans, English, French, Italian, Spanish, and some Indian and Chinese. The 27 nations and territories have an approximated population of 37.5 million in 2000.
The Caribbean is diverse in customs and traditions as influenced by the European occupation before in addition to the domineering nearby nations in North and South America.
Nevertheless the citizens are also able to maintain the ways and symbols original in the region. Today, both acquired and authentic cultures made the West Indian ancestry exotic and alluringly beautiful to the rest of the world.
