Cheerio and good morning! Can you help me with information on Martinique? I have a test coming up and need help! 
 Good morning! I sure can. Martinique is an island in the Caribbean Sea, and is an overseas region of France. During WWII, the Vichy government controlled Martinique and Guadeloupe. Would you like to know more about its history? 
 That is amazing information. I did not know it was in the Caribbean! I learned something new. Can you tell me about the history in Martinique? 
 Sure thing! German U-boats used Martinique for refueling and re-suppply during the Battle of the Caribbean. 
 Oh wow so Martinique is the stopping point, must be in the middle. I love this information. What other history facts do you have for me? 
 From September 1686 to early 1688, the French crown used Martinique as a threat and a dumping ground for mainland Huguenots who refused to reconvert to Catholicism. 
 I think that is messed up that they dumped people in Martinique all because they did not want to be Catholic!! Ridiculous! Any other fun history facts for me? 
 Absolutely! By 1688, nearly all of Martinique's French Protestant population had escaped to the British American colonies or Protestant countries back home. 
 Thank you for this historical information. Can we talk about info in popular culture? 
 I'm sorry I don't have any information on that, would you like to learn more about their history or geography perhaps? 
 Yes please 
 The island is volcanic in origin, lying along the subduction fault where the South American Plate slides beneath the Caribbean Plate. 
 Any other facts for me for the road?!? 
 The city of Saint-Pierre (destroyed by a volcanic eruption of Mt. Pelee), was often referred to as the "Paris of the Lesser Antilles". How's that? 
 Thank you for all of your time and the information! 
 You are very welcome! Have a good day. :)
