Caribbean Forum Caribbean Islands Greater Antilles
Where are the Greater Antilles (0 viewing) 
The Greater Antilles had clear strategic importance as a gateway to the Americas and during the years when sea power defined a country's might, they were the battlegrounds for several imperial powers, mainly Spain, France, and the United Kingdom. First exploited for their own resources, they were later utilized as the principal landing points for ships traveling between Europe and the New World. With the advent of commercial airlines, their strategic importance has diminished with time.

Where are the Greater Antilles 1 Year, 1 Month ago  
It's common to hear the Caribbean described in terms of different locations defined by an islands location. Lesser vs. Greater Antilles and Windward vs. Leeward. Let's de-mystify.
The largest islands of the West Indies stretch across the center of our “Caribbean” for about 1,300 miles. Including Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola and Puerto Rico, they comprise what is known as the Greater Antilles
The Greater Antilles are the four largest islands in the northwestern portion of the Caribbean Sea and include Cuba, Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic), Jamaica, and Puerto Rico.
