Falklands islands

The Falklands were discovered in 1520 by Esteban Go’mez, crew member of the ship San Antonio, one of the boats of
expedition of Magallanes. according to the papal territories boundary of bulas, the islands belonged to Spain. Nevertheless,
English, Dutch and French navigators arrived at the islands in diverse opportunities.
In 1690, the captain of British navy John Strong sailed by the Straits of San Carlos, that separates the Falklands, and it called it
Straits of Falkland in memory of sir Lucius Cary, second vizconde of Falkland.
In 1764 there was a French occupation on the part of Luis de Bougainville, who founded the port of San Luis on the Eastern island.
French called to the Malouines islands, because that one was the name given to the been born ones in Saint Maló, the French port of where
they came. The Spaniards obtained the port of San Luis after a seat of protests and transformed Malouines into the Falklands. In
1765, an English expedition arrived at the islands and it denominated Falkland Islands. In 1770, the English forces of occupation were
evacuated by Spain, that protested to sovereignty of the islands by via diplomat. When the Virreinato of the River was created of
Silver, the Falklands happened to depend on the government of Buenos Aires. From 1774 to 1810, Spain named successive
governors for the archipelago.
In 1776, when the virreinato of the River of the Silver was created, the Falklands islands were included in the territory of the government of
Buenos Aires. After 1810, the islands followed under that jurisdiction. In 1820, the Argentina frigate the Heroin was sent a
The Falklands to take definitive possession from the islands. In 1825 a significant fact took place: Great Britain recognized
Argentina independence and did not demand the islands. In 1828, the government of Buenos Aires granted Luis Vernet, in concession,

English dominion
In 1829, Vernet was named governor of the Falklands. And that same Great Britain year demanded its right of sovereignty on
the islands, adjudging itself its discovery. In 1833 that nation it took the Falklands under his dominion, expelling to the authorities
Creoles. Since then, Argentina has never let demand its sovereignty on the archipelago.
The Falkland Islands have had a complex history since their discovery, with France, Britain, Spain and Argentina all claiming possession and establishing as well as abandoning settlements on the islands. The Spanish government’s claim was continued by Argentina after the latter’s independence in 1816 and the independence war in 1817, until 1833 when the United Kingdom took control of the islands by force, following the destruction of the Argentine settlement at Puerto Soledad by the American sloop USS Lexington (December 28, 1831

The area now known as Hong Kong became an important trading region and a significant strategic location for the Chinese mainland during the Tang and Song dynasties. These populated townships or villages had never been collectively known as Hong Kong before the British administration. The area began to attract the attention of China and the rest of the world again in the 19th century, when it was ceded to Britain after the Opium Wars. Hong Kong’s earliest recorded non-Asian visitor was the Portuguese mariner Jorge Álvares who arrived in 1513. Álvares began trading with the Chinese, and the Portuguese continued to make periodic trade stops at various locations along the coast.
Tea, silk, and other Asian luxury goods were introduced in Europe by the Portuguese, and by the mid-18th century these items were in high demand, particularly tea. The British, to redress their net outflow of payments to China for tea and to force China to conduct relations like other states, invaded China, winning the First Opium War in 1841. During the war, Hong Kong Island was first occupied by the British, and then formally ceded by the Qing Dynasty of China in 1842 under the Treaty of Nanking.
