Curonian colonization of the Americas

The Curonian colonization of the Americas was performed by the Duchy of Courland and Semigallia (now Latvia), which was the second-smallest state to colonise the Americas, after the Knights of Malta, as well as one of the two Eastern European states who did so. It had a colony on the island of Tobago from 1654 to 1659 and intermittently from 1660 to 1689.
