Martinique
is a mountainous island lying in the
Lesser Antilles about 300 mi (483 km) northeast of Venezuela.
Martinique became a domain of the French crown in 1674. It became an
overseas department of France in 1946.
Fort-de-France is the capital.
Martinique's sugar exports made it one of France's most valuable colonies;
although slavery was abolished in 1848, sugar continued to hold a dominant
position in the economy. A target of dispute during the Anglo-French
worldwide colonial struggles, Martinique was finally confirmed as a French
possession after the Napoleonic wars. In 1902 an eruption of Mt. Pelée
destroyed the town of St. Pierre.
