Two islands, why Indonesia is a unified country, but the Caribbean is divided into many countries?

In fact, this question is very simple. Although Indonesia is a unified country, there are actually many internal problems, and the islands are not harmonious at all. And now the separatist trend in Indonesia is very obvious. Indonesia's nation is fragmented. It is difficult to centralize management.

Indonesia is the most divided country in the world, and it is extremely complicated within the country, so it is impossible to gather strength. First, let's look at the country. Although Indonesia has more than 1.9 million square kilometers, this territory is not small, but it is fragmented and divided into several large pieces. Kalimantan island, Sumatra, Irian, Sulawesi and Java are almost rivals.

The separatist situation is very obvious. Any island can be king behind closed doors. Under this pattern, just like China, a modern warlord, how did its influence come out? Moreover, the dispersion of territory can actually be solved through the concentration of population. The most typical island countries, such as the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean, are scattered in territory, but their nationalities are very concentrated, so they are also stable internally.

However, Indonesia is not only dispersed in territory, but also dispersed in population. The main ethnic group, Javanese, accounts for only over 40%, and there are other big ethnic groups, such as Sunda, Malay and Madura, with a population of tens of millions, and the Chinese alone exceed10 million. Moreover, there are more than 200 languages, and the nationalities are extremely scattered, making it the most complicated one in the world.

So it is not necessarily the same island, but a unified country must be divided into many countries in the Caribbean, so that is the normal operation of the island. Although the Caribbean is indeed divided into many countries.
