Martinique is an island in the Caribbean Sea. It has an area of 1,128 km². Nearly 400,000 people live there.
Martinique was known by indigenous peoples of the Caribbean as Madiana or Madinina. It was colonized by the French in the 17th century, and they introduced racist slavery there as they spread it all around the world. France still claims to own the island today, even though there has been an independence movement.
