Trinidad and Tobago, Island nation in southern Caribbean.
Trinidad and Tobago consists of two main islands and twenty-one smaller islands located near the northern edge of South America.
The Spanish established control of Trinidad in the 16th century through the General Captaincy of Venezuela until British forces captured it in 1797.
The annual February carnival demonstrates the fusion of African, Indian, Chinese, European and Middle Eastern influences in music, dance, and costumes.
The nation maintains a strong industrial economy centered on petroleum and natural gas production rather than depending on Caribbean tourism.
Trinidad and Tobago stands as the birthplace of steel pan drums, calypso music, and the limbo dance, contributing these art forms worldwide.
