The archipelago, which is of volcanic origin, is some east of northern Australia, northeast of New Caledonia, east of New Guinea, southeast of the Solomon Islands, and west of Fiji. Vanuatu was first inhabited by Melanesian people. The first Europeans to visit the islands were a Spanish expedition led by Portuguese navigator Fernandes de Queirós, who arrived on the largest island in 1606. He then claimed the archipelago for Spain, as part of the colonial Spanish East Indies, and named it ''Austrialia del Espiritu Santo''. In the 1880s, France and Great Britain claimed parts of the archipelago, and in 1906 they agreed on a framework for jointly managing the archipelago as the New Hebrides through a British–French Condominium. An independence movement arose in the 1970s, and the Republic of Vanuatu was founded in 1980. == Etymology == Vanuatu's name is derived from the word ''vanua'' ("land" or "home"), which occurs in several Austronesian languages,〔''Vanua'' in turns comes from the Proto-Austronesian ''banua'' – see Thomas Anton Reuter, ''(Custodians of the Sacred Mountains: Culture and Society in the Highlands of Bali )'', University of Hawaii Press, 2002, p. 29; and Thomas Anton Reuter, ''(Sharing the Earth, Dividing the Land: Land and Territory in the Austronesian World )'', ANU E Press, 2006, p. 326.〕 and the word ''tu'' ("stand"). Together the two words indicated the independent status of the new country.〔 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「Vanuatu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
