Here are a list of maps, showing the rise and fall of the Dutch Empire. Currently, Aruba, Bonaire, Curaco, Saba and Sint Eustatius are part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. They are all small islands in the Caribbean. I do not have a map between 1830-1938 because the only major event(s) that took place was the expansion in the East Indies, which can be seen by looking at Expansion in the East Indies section.
