Trinidad and Tobago
Trinidad and Tobago,, , , }} officially the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, is the southernmost island country in the Caribbean. Consisting of the main islands Trinidad and Tobago and numerous much smaller islands, it is situated off the coast of northeastern Venezuela and south of Grenada. It shares maritime boundaries with Barbados to the east, Grenada to the northwest and Venezuela to the south and west. Trinidad and Tobago is generally considered to be part of the West Indies. The island country's capital is Port of Spain, while its largest and most populous municipality is Chaguanas.The island of Trinidad was inhabited for centuries by Indigenous peoples before becoming a colony in the Spanish Empire, following the arrival of Christopher Columbus, in 1498. Spanish governor José María Chacón surrendered the island to a British fleet under the command of Sir Ralph Abercromby in 1797. Trinidad and Tobago were ceded to Britain in 1802 under the Treaty of Amiens as separate states and unified in 1889. Trinidad and Tobago obtained independence in 1962, and became a republic in 1976.
Unlike most Caribbean nations and territories, which rely heavily on tourism, the economy is primarily industrial with an emphasis on petroleum and petrochemicals; much of the nation's wealth is derived from its large reserves of oil and natural gas.
Trinidad and Tobago is well known for its African and Indian cultures, reflected in its large and famous Carnival, Diwali, and Hosay celebrations, as well as being the birthplace of the steelpan, the limbo, and music styles such as calypso, soca, rapso, parang, chutney, and chutney soca music. The island is famous for its street foods such Doubles, Roti, Saheena, Aloo pie, Pholouri, Coo-Coo, Chow, Bake and shark, or fresh cut coconut water, and other noted island foods includes Trinidadian Callaloo, Curry crab and dumplings, and others. The islands have beautiful beaches and tropical forests set to a tropical climate, and natural wonders include a pitch lake. The country gets less hurricaines then most of the carribean because its farther south. The country is a member of the United Nations, the Commonwealth, and Anglophone Caribbean Community among others. The main currency is the Trinidadian Dollar, not the Eastern Caribbean Dollar.
