==Historical Background==


Saint Martin is the northern half of the island of Saint Martin and is a collectivity of France.  The other half of the island is Sint Maartin, a constituent country of the Netherlands.  The border has gone back and forth but is now stable. Few of the native peoples survived.  The Spanish had the island for a short time.  Massive numbers of African slaves were brought to the island in the 1600s.
