Settled by Arawaks c.130 AD; they later were replaced by Caribs. France took possession of Martinique in 1635
and introduced a sugar plantation economy based on slave labor. During wars with
England / the United Kingdom occasionally under British occupation,
Guadeloupe is still integral part of the Republic of France. |
