Outline of the Netherlands Antilles (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Netherlands Antilles was an autonomous Caribbean country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, consisting of two groups of islands in the Lesser Antilles: Aruba, Cura ao and Bonaire, in Leeward Antilles just off the Venezuelan coast; and Sint Eustatius, Saba and Sint Maarten, in the Leeward Islands southeast of the Virgin Islands. Aruba seceded in 1986 as a separate country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the rest of the Netherlands Antilles was dissolved on 10 October 2010, resulting in two new constituent countries, Cura ao and Sint Maarten, with the other islands joining the Netherlands as special municipalities.
