14-September-2008 18:38:39 - Antilles Map of the Antilles Map of the Antilles The Antilles the same in French; Antillas in Spanish; Antillen in Dutch refers to the islands forming the greater part of the West Indies in the Caribbean Sea. The Antilles are divided into two major groups: the Greater Antilles to the north including the larger islands of Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola Haiti and the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico; and the smaller Lesser Antilles on the southeast-comprising the northerly Leeward Islands, the southeasterly Windward Islands, and the Leeward Antilles just north of Venezuela. The Bahamas, though part of the West Indies, are generally not included among the Antillean islands.1 Geographically, the Antilles are generally considered part of America. Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico-due to the prevalence of Spanish-are included in Latin America. In terms of geology, the Greater Antilles are made up of continental rock, as distinct from the Lesser Antilles, which are mostly young volcanic or coral islands.

The word Antilles originated in the period before the European conquest of the New World-Antilia being one of those mysterious lands which figured on the medieval charts, sometimes as an archipelago, sometimes as continuous land of greater or lesser extent, its location fluctuating in mid-ocean between the Canary Islands and India. After the 1492 arrival of Christopher Columbus's expion in what was later called the West Indies, the European powers realized that the dispersed lands comprised an extensive archipelago enclosing the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. Thereafter, the term Antilles was commonly assigned to the formation, and Sea of the Antilles became a common alternate name for the Caribbean Sea in various European languages.
