Martinique and Guadeloupe are integral parts of France. They are overseas departments of and within the French republic.
Other parts of the West Indies such as Dominica, Trinidad, St Lucia, St. Martin, St Vincent and the Grenadines, and Grenada and St. Barthelemy among other places etc are culturally and historically and linguistically French based.
