 THE HISTORY OF TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO BEGINS WITH THE
AMERINDIAN SETTLEMENTS. BOTH ISLANDS WERE
DISCOVERED FOR EUROPEANS BY CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS
DURING HIS THIRD VOYAGE IN 1498. TOBAGO WAS TAKEN OVER
BY THE BRITISH, FRENCH, DUTCH AND CURLANDANS,
EVENTUALLY ENDING UP IN THE HANDS OF THE ENGLISH.
TRINIDAD WAS OWNED BY SPAIN UNTIL 1797, BUT WAS
EXTENSIVELY COLONIZED BY THE FRENCH. IN 1888 THE TWO
ISLANDS WERE INCORPORATED INTO A SINGLE BRITISH
OVERSEAS TERRITORY. TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO BECAME
INDEPENDENT OF THE EMPIRE IN 1962 BECOMING A REPUBLIC
IN 1976
culture
 The most important festival in Trinidad is
the carnival, which was imported by French
settlers at the end of the 18th century, who
arrived thanks to the Population Certificate
of 1783.
The gastronomy of Trinidad and Tobago is the
result of the fusion of elements from Indian,
African, Creole, Amerindian, European, Chinese
and Lebanese cuisines.
