What country is the largest island in the caribbean
GarryVolchara [31]
<h2>Answer: Cuba </h2>

Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean Sea (also called the Antilles Sea), belonging to the Republic of Cuba.

It should be noted that Cuba as a country, is actually an archipelago consisting of the Island of Cuba, the Isle of Pines and a large number of keys and small islets; where only the first two islands are considered suitable to support a permanently resident population.

Its climate is classified as humid subtropical, with two clearly defined seasons, the dry season (from November to April) and the rainy season (from May to October) and with fresh continuous breezes throughout the year. This is due to the elongated shape of the island and its position in the Caribbean, which facilitates the trade winds to flow throughout the territory.
