History of Kiribati

The islands which now form the Republic of Kiribati have been inhabited for at least seven hundred years, and possibly much longer. The initial Micronesian population, which remains the overwhelming majority today, was visited by Polynesian and Melanesian invaders before the first European sailors visited the islands in the 17th century. For much of the subsequent period, the main island chain, the Gilbert Islands, was ruled as part of the British Empire. The country gained its independence in 1979 and has since been known as Kiribati.
==Pre-history==
The islands had been inhabited by Micronesians for several millennia (at least 2,000 years, probably 3,000). The ''I-Kiribati'' or Gilbertese people settled what would become known as the Gilbert Islands (named for British captain Thomas Gilbert by von Krusenstern in 1820) some time in between 3000 BC〔''Cinderellas of the Empire'', Barrie Macdonald, IPS, University of the South Pacific, 2001, p.1〕〔Encyclopædia Britannica, "Kiribati"〕 and 1300 AD.〔(I-Kiribati Ministry of Finance and Economic Development: "History" )〕 Subsequent invasions by Samoans and Tongans introduced Polynesian elements to the previously installed Micronesian culture and invasions by Fijians introduced Melanesian elements, but extensive intermarriage produced a population reasonably homogeneous in appearance, language and traditions.
