Background:
Once the center of the Caribbean slave trade, the island of
Curacao was hard hit by the abolition of slavery in 1863. Its
prosperity (and that of neighboring Aruba) was restored in the
early 20th century with the construction of oil refineries to
service the newly discovered Venezuelan oil fields. The island
of Sint Maarten is shared with France (whose northern portion
is named Saint Martin and is part of Guadeloupe). |
