by Theodore Taylor

Curacao, located off the coast of Venezuela, is a Caribbean Island.

It is part of the ABC islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao.

The People of Curacao

Because of its history. The island's population today comes from many different backgrounds. There is an Afro-Caribbean majority of mixed African and European descent. There are also sizable minorities of Dutch, Latin American, French, Portuguese and Asian.

At the end of 1942, the German U-boat

fleet had destroyed 280 tankers and other vessels in the Western and Eastern Caribbean.

more African and Caribbean.

is performed at Carnival and cultural festivals.

and their resources became

prime targets for attack.
