Download or read book Falkland Islands Kerguelen written by Great Britain. Foreign Office. Historical Section and published by . This book was released on 1920 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In preparation for the peace conference that was expected to follow World War I, in the spring of 1917 the British Foreign Office established a special section responsible for preparing background information for use by British delegates to the conference. Falkland Islands, Kerguelen is Number 138 in a series of more than 160 studies produced by the section, most of which were published after the conclusion of the 1919 Paris Peace Conference. The Falkland Islands are a British-controlled archipelago located in the South Atlantic approximately 480 kilometers off the coast of Argentina, which also claims the islands under the name Islas Malvinas. At the time this study was written, the Falklands were a Crown Colony, which also included a number of smaller islands in the extreme South Atlantic as well as Graham Land on the Antarctic mainland. The book contains chapters on physical and political geography, political history, social and political conditions, and economic conditions. The section on political history notes the different names given to the islands over the years, including Îles Malouines, after the visits by ships from Saint Malo, France, and summarizes the main facts concerning the dispute between Britain and Spain over ownership of the islands--one that was carried over into the dispute between Britain and Argentina after the latter's independence from Spain. The economy of the islands is described as based mainly on sheep and whaling. The second part of the book is a brief treatment of Kerguelen, a French dependency in the southern Indian Ocean named after Yves Joseph de Kerguélen-Trémarec, a French mariner who discovered the archipelago in 1772. The study notes that Kerguelen was never permanently inhabited, although it was frequently visited in the 19th century by (chiefly American) whalers and sealers. Today the main island of Grande Terre and the 300 other small islands of Kerguelen are part of the French Southern and Antarctic Territories and also are known as the Desolation Islands.

Download or read book The Falkland Islands written by Ian J. Strange and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Falklands lie isolated in the South Atlantic some 300 miles east of the tip of South America. Today sheep-farming is the principal occupation, and the extremely active community are very conscious of their identity and their islands' history. Famous people and events have long been associated with the Magellan was probably the first man to sight the islands, Darwin landed from the "Beagle," and great naval actions took place in the vicinity during both world wars. In spite of fairly modern communications, life on the islands has not changed radically over the last hundred years. There is a very active social and cultural life, and local customs are maintained in a very live way. As small as the population is, however, the islands' defence force holds military parades on Remembrance Sunday and other anniversaries. The islands in fact offer a surprising number of local pursuits as well as being interesting geographically and ecologically speaking. It is undoubtedly significant that the great liner "Ile de France" called at Port Stanley on a recent world cruise, for the richness of bird and sea-mammal life alone makes the islands worth a visit, be it by air or steamer from Montevideo. This first full account of the group by an author, who is himself a Falklander and a naturalist, has indeed really strong interest for historians and biologists as well as the growing body of island enthusiasts." --Descripción del editor.

Download or read book From Colony to Superpower written by George C. Herring and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-28 with total page 1054 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford History of the United States is the most respected multi-volume history of our nation in print. The series includes three Pulitzer Prize-winners, a New York Times bestseller, and winners of prestigious Bancroft and Parkman Prizes. From Colony to Superpower is the only thematic volume commissioned for the series. Here George C. Herring uses foreign relations as the lens through which to tell the story of America's dramatic rise from thirteen disparate colonies huddled along the Atlantic coast to the world's greatest superpower. A sweeping account of United States' foreign relations and diplomacy, this magisterial volume documents America's interaction with other peoples and nations of the world. Herring tells a story of stunning successes and sometimes tragic failures, captured in a fast-paced narrative that illuminates the central importance of foreign relations to the existence and survival of the nation, and highlights its ongoing impact on the lives of ordinary citizens. He shows how policymakers defined American interests broadly to include territorial expansion, access to growing markets, and the spread of an "American way" of life. And Herring does all this in a story rich in human drama and filled with epic events. Statesmen such as Benjamin Franklin and Woodrow Wilson and Harry Truman and Dean Acheson played key roles in America's rise to world power. But America's expansion as a nation also owes much to the adventurers and explorers, the sea captains, merchants and captains of industry, the missionaries and diplomats, who discovered or charted new lands, developed new avenues of commerce, and established and defended the nation's interests in foreign lands. From the American Revolution to the fifty-year struggle with communism and conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, From Colony to Superpower tells the dramatic story of America's emergence as superpower--its birth in revolution, its troubled present, and its uncertain future.
