註釋The Bahamas is a country located in the North Atlantic Ocean, consisting of more than 700 islands and cays in the Lucayan Archipelago. It is known for its clear turquoise waters, white sand beaches, and abundant marine life, making it a popular vacation destination for tourists. The country's capital, Nassau, is located on the island of New Providence and is home to the majority of the country's population. The Bahamas has a rich history, dating back to the pre-Columbian era with indigenous tribes inhabiting the islands. The islands were later discovered by European explorers and were claimed by the Spanish Empire. Over the centuries, the islands were ruled by various colonial powers, including the British and the French, before finally gaining independence in 1973. The country has a diverse culture influenced by its history and its proximity to the United States. The official language is English, and the majority of the population practices Christianity.
