What three islands are the west indies made up of?
Traditionally, there have been three groupings in the West Indies: The Greater Antilles, the Windward Islands, and the Leeward Islands. The Greater Antilles are the four largest islands of Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola and Puerto Rico. Hispaniola is divided between the nations of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The much smaller Windward and Leeward islands all lie south and east of the Greater Antilles, an archipelago extending like links in a chain from the several Virgin Islands in the north down to Grenada. Various islands in this group have been sometimes been called Windward Islands, and other times defined as Leeward Islands, so the distinction is not always significant. Some of the islands in this archipelago include Barbados, Martinique, Antigua, St. Kitts-Nevis, Guadeloupe, St. Lucia, Dominica, and St Vincent, among others. The Dutch islands of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao, along with the nation of Trinidad and Tobago, are all very close to the coast of South America, and frequently regarded more as parts of that continent than as parts of the West Indies. Many of these classifications are imprecise, affected as much by political and cultural factors as by geography.
