FunnyLearn Map of Trinidad and Tobago - Caribbean Island Maps, Trinidad and Tobago Map Information Trinidad and Tobago, the earliest-settled part of the Caribbean, was originally inhabited by Amerindians of South American origin. In 1498, Christopher Columbus discovered the islands. In 1530, Antonio de Sedeno, a Spanish soldier intent on conquering the island of Trinidad, landed on its southwest coast with a small army of men. Sedeno and his men fought the native Carib Indians on many occasions, and subsequently built a fort. In 1595, Sir Walter Raleigh, searching for the long-rumored "City of Gold" in South America, arrived in Trinidad. By the early 1700s, following the total conquest of the Aztec Empire, Trinidad belonged to New Spain, formally called the Viceroyalty of New Spain, with Mexico City its capital. Spanish King Charles III authorized free lands in Trinidad if settlers would swear their allegiance and loyalties to him. Near the end of the 18th century, Port of Spain's population exceeded 10,000 and the total population of Trinidad was almost 18,000.

Computer display standard Computer display standards are often a combination of aspect ratio, display size, display resolution, color depth, and refresh rate. This article describes the different display standards for computer displays. History[edit] Various computer display standards or display modes have been used in the history of the personal computer. They are often a combination of aspect ratio (specified as width-to-height ratio), display resolution (specified as the width and height in pixels), color depth (measured in bits per pixel), and refresh rate (expressed in hertz). Associated with the screen resolution and refresh rate is a display adapter.
