Wikipedia is often a good place to begin with research like this. You can get good background information. With every Wikipedia page, though, you should always make sure you check out all the External Links and other references at the bottom of each page.

Here's a little hint: The Caribbean Sea was once referred to informally as the Spanish Lake. Can you guess why?
