Everyone
who has been lucky enough to ever visit this small island is greeted by the
blue waters, sandy beaches and the swaying palm trees. The Caribbean island of
the combined countries of France and the Netherlands is known as Saint Martin/
Sint Maarten (Hook). It is a popular tourist spot for its beautiful beaches, long list
of adventures, and because of its diversity and lack of conflict in the recent
years, it has developed a nickname; “Friendly”. Friendly became a tagalong
description for the island’s divided culture. The adjective however, only
covers up the cold and violent memories it carries (Bridge). Even though there are
people who believe that the island has always been peaceful compared to the
others in the Caribbean, both its history and past government tell otherwise (Thesis).
