World Travel Guide - Solomon Islands - History & Government
The modern nation of the Solomon Islands is an amalgamation of two archipelagos instigated by the British in the last years of the 19th century, the high point of imperial rivalry in the Pacific between the major European powers. The northern group was first claimed by the Spanish in the 16th century, then annexed by the Germans and finally ceded to the British (in exchange for part of the Samoan island group) who administered it together with the southern group, which they already controlled, as the British Solomon Islands Protectorate.
