Analyze the map below and answer the question that follows.

kupik [55]

Haiti and Cuba are two countries located on Hispaniola, the island labeled with the number 3 on the map above.

Option B. Haiti and Cuba.

Each kasike was ruled by a kasike (chief). Christopher Columbus renamed the island Espanola (Hispanola), which means "little Spain". On December 5, 1492, Columbus anchored off the northern coast of Haiti near present-day Capacity.

Hispaniola's political divisions are partly due to European struggles for control of the New World when France and Spain began competing for control of the island in the 17th century. They settled the dispute in 1697 by dividing the island into her two colonies.

Hispaniola, La Espanola, her second largest island in the Spanish West Indies, is located in the Greater Antilles in the Caribbean Sea. Politically, it is divided between the Haiti Republic (west) and the Dominican Republic (east).
