History
The Netherlands Antilles (Nederlandse Antillen) was a self governing territory within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The federation consisted of 6 islands, Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Saba, Sint Eustatius and Sint Maarten.
In 1986 Aruba became independent within the Kingdom of the Netherlands and left the federation.
In 2010 the Netherlands Antilles were abolished; Bonaire, Saba and Sint Eustatius became special overseas municipalities of the Netherlands. Curacao and Sint Maarten became, like Aruba, independent within the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
