About the Caribbean: from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
" The Caribbean or the West Indies is a group of islands in the Caribbean
Sea. These islands curve southward from the bottom tip of Florida
to the Northwest of Venezuela in South America. There are at least 7000
islands, islets, reefs and cayes in the region. They are organized into
twenty-five territories including sovereign states, overseas departments and
dependencies.
The name "West Indies" originates from Christopher Columbus' idea that he had landed in India when he had in fact reached the Americas. The Caribbean consists of the Antilles and the Bahamas and is part of North America.
At one time there was a short-lived country called the Federation of the West Indies composed of the English-speaking Caribbean islands of the region.
