Netherlands Antilles
Ok kiddo, let's talk about the Netherlands Antilles. Imagine that there is a group of islands in the Caribbean Sea that belong to the country of the Netherlands. The Netherlands Antilles is the name that was given to those islands when they were part of the kingdom of the Netherlands.
The Netherlands Antilles was made up of five main islands and some smaller ones too. The main islands were Curacao, Bonaire, Saba, St. Eustatius, and St. Maarten.
Now, the Netherlands Antilles wasn't always one big happy family. Sometimes the people who lived on one island didn't agree with the people who lived on another island, and they all had a hard time working together.
Finally, after a lot of talking and thinking, the Netherlands decided that it might be better if each island became its own separate country. So, in 2010, the Netherlands Antilles was dissolved and the islands all became separate countries or special municipalities of the Netherlands.
So, that's the story of the Netherlands Antilles, a group of islands that used to be part of the Netherlands but is now made up of separate countries.
