The+Caribbean

= Caribbean Countries = Approximately 7,000 islands make up the Caribbean region. The rich history began when European countries started to colonize those countries as they became a main source of trade and export. Spain, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands are the main countries with a strong influence on the Caribbean islands. The tropical weather and picturesque beaches are nice reasons to visit during vacation time.
