They have seldom been motivated to form politically-unified confederations. Exceptions include the island group of Trinidad and Tobago along the Venezuelan coast, and the short-lived West Indies Federation of British-colonized islands (1958-1962).
When European nations colonized the Americas, various colonies were set up on the coasts and islands of the Caribbean. At the time, governing widely separated areas was difficult. And there were often political appointments to be made, each governor being granted a separate area of control, subject to the oversight of the home country. Relatively close islands were often controlled by separate countries, or as in the cases of Hispaniola and Saint-Martin/ Sint Maarten, there were competing colonies on the same island. In Central America, the British settled a separate area of Honduras (now Belize) and Panama, once part of Colombia, was encouraged by the US in its fight for independence.
