Martinique

Remove The Limitations And Barriers

Martinique is both an island and an oversea department/region. It is also a single territorial collectivity in France. Martinique, an integral part of France’s Republic, is found in the Lesser Antilles region of the West Indies. It is in the eastern Caribbean Sea. It covers 1,128km2 (436 sq mi) and has a population estimated at 376,480 as of January 2016. It is located north of Saint Lucia, northwest of Barbados, and south of Dominica. Martinique is also an Outermost Region of the European Union (OMR) and a special territory. The currency used is the euro. Almost everyone speaks French, the only official language, and Martinican Creole.

First, the island was occupied by Arawaks and then by Caribs. The Arawaks were described as being gentle, timorous Indians, while the Caribs were described as cannibal warriors. The Arawaks were from Central America around the 1st Century AD, while the Caribs arrived from Venezuelan coasts around the 11th Century. The Caribs had killed many of their enemies by the time Columbus arrived. They spared the women and kept them for domestic or personal use.
