The small Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago have been treated as a single political entity for less than one hundred years. A union of two separate colonies started by Great Britain and Spain, each island has a substantially different ethnic makeup reflecting distinct lines of development.

Economically, it has been a plantation colony for most of its recorded history, but in recent years has included tourism as part of its economic structure.
