A Slice of the Netherlands: Aruba

You've heard of the Netherlands, right? Of course you did. It's a small Western European country, one of the richest and most prosperous. But did you know that this country is actually only a part of a larger kingdom? That's right; there's such a thing as the Kingdom of the Netherlands, that's made up of several different countries. One of them is Aruba, and that's what we're going to talk about today. Please consider supporting this channel via Patreon, by accessing the link bellow. Any contribution is greatly appreciated.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands commonly known as the Netherlands, is a sovereign state and constitutional monarchy with 98% of its territory and population in Western Europe and with several small West Indian island territories in the Caribbean (in the Leeward Islands and Leeward Antilles groups). Aruba is an island and a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the mid-south of the Caribbean Sea. 2. There has been a human presence on Aruba from as early as circa 2000 BC. The first Europeans to visit Aruba were Amerigo Vespucci and Alonso de Ojeda in 1499, who claimed the island for Spain. The Netherlands seized Aruba from Spain in 1636 in the course of the Thirty Years' War. 3. Oranjestad is the capital and largest city of Aruba. 4. Unlike much of the Caribbean region, Aruba has a dry climate and an arid or desert, cactus-strewn landscape. This climate has helped tourism as visitors to the island can reliably expect warm, sunny clear skies year-round. Aruba has a large and well-developed tourism industry, receiving 1,082,000 tourists who stayed overnight in its territory in 2018. 5. In March 1983, Aruba reached an official agreement within the Kingdom for its independence, to be developed in a series of steps as the Crown granted increasing autonomy. On 1 January 1986, after elections were held for its first parliament, Aruba seceded from the Netherlands Antilles, officially becoming a country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, with full independence planned for 1996. At a convention in The Hague in 1990, at the request of Aruba's Prime Minister Nelson Oduber, the governments of Aruba, the Netherlands, and the Netherlands Antilles postponed indefinitely Aruba's transition to full independence. 6. Aruba is one of the overseas countries and territories (OCT) of the European Union and maintains economic and cultural relations with the European Union and the United States of America. Along with the Netherlands, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten, Aruba is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, with internal autonomy. Since citizenship is a Kingdom affair, and is thus not distinguished for the four countries, citizens from all four countries are also citizens of the European Union. However, these territories are not part of the European Union. 7. The official languages are Dutch and Papiamento. However, whilst Dutch is the sole language for all administration and legal matters, Papiamento is the predominant language used on Aruba. It is a creole language, spoken on Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao, that incorporates words from Portuguese, various West African languages, Dutch, and Spanish.
