HELP INDEX NEXT UP PREVIOUS FEEDBACK ATG History of Marshall Islands

The Marshall Islands, found in the region of Micronesia, are made of 31 coral islands. In 1592 these beautiful Pacific islands were claimed by the Spanish. The Spanish, however, never disturbed these islands for some 300 years. In 1885 Germany took over administrative control of two islands, Jaluit & Ebon. At that time the economy was sustained by the trade of copra. Copra is dried coconut meat. [BM] {UA}
