No. While the overwhelming majority of Dutch territory and Dutch citizens are located in Europe, not all of the Netherlands is in Europe. The Kingdom of the Netherlands is a nation that, like most Western European nations, still has the remnants of a former colonial empire. As a result, parts of the Kingdom of the Netherlands include the Caribbean islands of Aruba, Curac,ao, and Sint Maarten. Even under the subnational entity of the Country of the Netherlands controls the Caribbean islands of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba.
Altogether there are over 7,000 odd islands that make up the Caribbean, but bearing in mind that the vast majority of these are reefs and cays the number soon falls. There are 115 main islands.
