They comprised the Philippine Islands, Guam and the Mariana Islands, the Caroline Islands (Palau and the Federated States of Micronesia), and for some time parts of Formosa (Taiwan) and the Moluccas (Indonesia). Cebu was the first seat of government, later transferred to Manila. From 1565 to 1821 these territories, together with the Spanish West Indies, were administered through the Viceroyalty of New Spain based in Mexico City. The King of Spain traditionally styled himself "King of the East and West Indies" (').〕 and the Royal Household of His Majesty the King. But note too that following the new constitution of 1837, Isabel II (reigned 1843–1868) was styled ' (''By the grace of God and the Constitution of the Spanish monarchy, Queen of the Spains'').}} After Mexican independence, they were ruled directly from Madrid. Administrative affairs of the Spanish East Indies were handled by the Captaincy General of the Philippines and the Real Audiencia of Manila. As a result of the Spanish–American War in 1898, most of the islands were occupied by the United States while about 6,000 of the remaining smaller islands were sold to Germany in the German–Spanish Treaty of 1899. The few remaining islands were ceded to the United States in the Treaty of Washington in 1900. == History == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Spanish East Indies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
