Editing Lesser Antilles (section)

== Political divisions ==
[[File:Pigeon Point beach.jpg|thumb|Pigeon Point, [[Trinidad and Tobago]]]]

The Lesser Antilles are divided into eight independent nations and numerous dependent and non-sovereign states (which are politically associated with the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, and the United States). Over one third of the total area and population of the Lesser Antilles lies within [[Trinidad and Tobago]], a sovereign nation comprising the two southernmost islands of the Windward Island chain.
