The Caribbean

The Caribbean, also known as the West Indies, is a region consisting of the Caribbean Sea, its islands and the surrounding coasts. The Caribbean is located to the southeast of the continent of North America, east of Central America and north of South America. The West Indies were colonized by the Spanish, French, Portuguese, British, Dutch and even by the Danish and Swedish.[1]

Its largest islands are Cuba, Hispaniola, and Jamaica, however, countless smaller islands dot the sea. As such, there were several shipping routes throughout the region, with hundreds of ships using them. The Spanish Navy, British Royal Navy, French Navy, and the Portuguese Navy roved the waters, protecting these merchant vessels and occasionally battling each other.[1]

The Spanish Navy and the British Royal Navy established many forts to protect the waters from enemy navies as well as pirates. During the late 17th and early 18th century, at the height of the Golden Age of Piracy, the Caribbean islands and seas were home to numerous bands of pirates, including Edward Kenway, though by 1735, many were left abandoned and in ruins.[1] 50 years later, the region was also one of the many bodies of water where the Seven Years' War occurred between the British and French navies and their allies.[2]

The islands were protected by a group of Assassins based in Tulum, on the Yucatán Peninsula,[3] though they later were forced to move to the island of Great Inagua following repeated attacks by colonial empires.[4] Conversely, there was also a strong Templar presence in the region, operating mostly from Havana, Cuba.[5]
