Spratly IslandsThe Spratly Islands consist of more than 100 smallislands or reefs. They are surrounded by rich fishing grounds andpotentially by gas and oil deposits. They are claimed in theirentirety by China, Taiwan, and Vietnam, while portions are claimedby Malaysia and the Philippines. About 45 islands are occupied byrelatively small numbers of military forces from China, Malaysia,the Philippines, Taiwan, and Vietnam. Brunei has established afishing zone that overlaps a southern reef, but has not made anyformal claim.
Sri LankaThe Sinhalese arrived in Sri Lanka late in the 6th centuryB.C., probably from northern India. Buddhism was introducedbeginning in about the mid-third century B.C., and a greatcivilization developed at the cities of Anuradhapura (kingdom fromcirca 200 B.C. to circa A.D. 1000) and Polonnaruwa (from about 1070to 1200). In the 14th century, a south Indian dynasty seized powerin the north and established a Tamil kingdom. Occupied by thePortuguese in the 16th century and by the Dutch in the 17th century,the island was ceded to the British in 1796, became a crown colonyin 1802, and was united under British rule by 1815. As Ceylon, itbecame independent in 1948; its name was changed to Sri Lanka in1972. Tensions between the Sinhalese majority and Tamil separatistserupted into war in 1983. Tens of thousands have died in an ethnicconflict that continues to fester. After two decades of fighting,the government and Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam formalized acease-fire in February 2002, with Norway brokering peacenegotiations.
SudanMilitary regimes favoring Islamic-oriented governments havedominated national politics since independence from the UK in 1956.Sudan was embroiled in two prolonged civil wars during most of theremainder of the 20th century. These conflicts were rooted innorthern economic, political, and social domination of non-Muslim,non-Arab southern Sudanese. The first civil war ended in 1972, butbroke out again in 1983. The second war and famine-related effectsresulted in more than 2 million deaths and over 4 million peopledisplaced over a period of two decades. Peace talks gained momentumin 2002-04 with the signing of several accords; a final Naivashapeace treaty of January 2005 granted the southern rebels autonomyfor six years, after which a referendum for independence isscheduled to be held. A separate conflict that broke out in thewestern region of Darfur in 2003 resulted in tens of thousands ofdeaths and over 1 million displaced, but by early 2005, peackeepingtroops had stabilized the situation.
SurinameIndependence from the Netherlands was granted in 1975. Fiveyears later the civilian government was replaced by a militaryregime that soon declared a socialist republic. It continued to rulethrough a succession of nominally civilian administrations until1987, when international pressure finally forced a democraticelection. In 1989, the military overthrew the civilian government,but a democratically-elected government returned to power in 1991.
SvalbardFirst discovered by the Norwegians in the 12th century, theislands served as an international whaling base during the 17th and18th centuries. Norway's sovereignty was recognized in 1920; fiveyears later it officially took over the territory.
SwazilandAutonomy for the Swazis of southern Africa was guaranteedby the British in the late 19th century; independence was granted in1968. Student and labor unrest during the 1990s pressured themonarchy (one of the oldest on the continent) to grudgingly allowpolitical reform and greater democracy. Swaziland recently surpassedBotswana as the country with the world's highest known rates ofHIV/AIDS infection
SwedenA military power during the 17th century, Sweden has notparticipated in any war in almost two centuries. An armed neutralitywas preserved in both World Wars. Sweden's long-successful economicformula of a capitalist system interlarded with substantial welfareelements was challenged in the 1990s by high unemployment and in2000-02 by the global economic downturn, but fiscal discipline overthe past several years has allowed the country to weather economicvagaries. Indecision over the country's role in the political andeconomic integration of Europe delayed Sweden's entry into the EUuntil 1995, and waived the introduction of the euro in 1999.
SwitzerlandThe Swiss Confederation was founded in 1291 as adefensive alliance among three cantons. In succeeding years, otherlocalities joined the original three. The Swiss Confederationsecured its independence from the Holy Roman Empire in 1499.Switzerland's sovreignty and neutrality have long been honored bythe major European powers, and the country was not involved ineither of the two World Wars. The political and economic integrationof Europe over the past half century, as well as Switzerland's rolein many UN and international organizations, has strengthenedSwitzerland's ties with its neighbors. However, the country did notofficially become a UN member until 2002. Switzerland remains activein many UN and international organizations, but retains a strongcommitment to neutrality.
SyriaFollowing the breakup of the Ottoman Empire during World WarI, Syria was administered by the French until independence in 1946.In the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, Syria lost the Golan Heights toIsrael. Syrian troops - stationed in Lebanon since 1976 in anostensible peacekeeping role - were withdrawn in April of 2005. Overthe past decade, Syria and Israel have held occasional peace talksover the return of the Golan Heights.
TaiwanIn 1895, military defeat forced China to cede Taiwan toJapan. Taiwan reverted to Chinese control after World War II.Following the Communist victory on the mainland in 1949, 2 millionNationalists fled to Taiwan and established a government using the1946 constitution drawn up for all of China. Over the next fivedecades, the ruling authorities gradually democratized andincorporated the native population within the governing structure.In 2000, Taiwan underwent its first peaceful transfer of power fromthe Nationalist to the Democratic Progressive Party. Throughout thisperiod, the island prospered and became one of East Asia's economic"Tigers." The dominant political issues continue to be therelationship between Taiwan and China - specifically the question ofeventual unification - as well as domestic political and economicreform.
TajikistanThe Tajik people came under Russian rule in the 1860s and1870s, but Russia's hold on Central Asia weakened following theRevolution of 1917. Bolshevik control of the area was fiercelycontested and not fully reestablished until 1925. Tajikistan becameindependent in 1991 following the breakup of the Soviet Union andhas now completed its transition from the civil war that plagued thecountry from 1992 to 1997. There have been no major securityincidents in recent years, although the country remains the poorestin the region. Attention by the international community in the wakeof the war in Afghanistan has brought increased economic developmentassistance, which could create jobs and increase stability in thelong term. Tajikistan is in the early stages of seeking World TradeOrganization membership and has joined NATO's Partnership for Peace.
TanzaniaShortly after independence, Tanganyika and Zanzibar mergedto form the nation of Tanzania in 1964. One-party rule came to anend in 1995 with the first democratic elections held in the countrysince the 1970s. Zanzibar's semi-autonomous status and popularopposition have led to two contentious elections since 1995, whichthe ruling party won despite international observers' claims ofvoting irregularities.
ThailandA unified Thai kingdom was established in the mid-14thcentury. Known as Siam until 1939, Thailand is the only SoutheastAsian country never to have been taken over by a European power. Abloodless revolution in 1932 led to a constitutional monarchy. Inalliance with Japan during World War II, Thailand became a US allyfollowing the conflict. Thailand is currently facing armed violencein its three Muslim-majority southernmost provinces.
TogoFrench Togoland became Togo in 1960. Gen. Gnassingbe EYADEMA,installed as military ruler in 1967, continued to rule well into the21st century. Despite the facade of multiparty elections institutedin the early 1990s, the government continued to be dominated byPresident EYADEMA, whose Rally of the Togolese People (RPT) partymaintained power almost continually since 1967. Togo has come underfire from international organizations for human rights abuses and isplagued by political unrest. While most bilateral and multilateralaid to Togo remains frozen, the European Union initiated a partialresumption of cooperation and development aid to Togo in late 2004.Upon his death in February 2005, President EYADEMA was succeeded byhis son Faure GNASSINGBE. The succession, supported by the militaryand in contravention of the nation's constitution, was challenged bypopular protest and a threat of sanctions from regional leaders.GNASSINGBE succumbed to pressure and agreed to hold elections inlate April 2005.
TokelauOriginally settled by Polynesian emigrants from surroundingisland groups, the Tokelau Islands were made a British protectoratein 1889. They were transferred to New Zealand administration in 1925.
TongaThe archipelago of "The Friendly Islands" was united into aPolynesian kingdom in 1845. It became a constitutional monarchy in1875 and a British protectorate in 1900. Tonga acquired itsindependence in 1970 and became a member of the Commonwealth ofNations. It remains the only monarchy in the Pacific.
Trinidad and TobagoThe islands came under British control in the19th century; independence was granted in 1962. The country is oneof the most prosperous in the Caribbean thanks largely to petroleumand natural gas production and processing. Tourism, mostly inTobago, is targeted for expansion and is growing.
Tromelin IslandFirst explored by the French in 1776, the islandcame under the jurisdiction of Reunion in 1814. At present, itserves as a sea turtle sanctuary and is the site of an importantmeteorological station.
TunisiaFollowing independence from France in 1956, President HabibBOURGUIBA established a strict one-party state. He dominated thecountry for 31 years, repressing Islamic fundamentalism andestablishing rights for women unmatched by any other Arab nation. Inrecent years, Tunisia has taken a moderate, non-aligned stance inits foreign relations. Domestically, it has sought to defuse risingpressure for a more open political society.
TurkeyModern Turkey was founded in 1923 from the Anatolian remnantsof the defeated Ottoman Empire by national hero Mustafa KEMAL, whowas later honored with the title Ataturk, or "Father of the Turks."Under his authoritarian leadership, the country adopted wide-rangingsocial, legal, and political reforms. After a period of one-partyrule, an experiment with multi-party politics led to the 1950election victory of the opposition Democratic Party and the peacefultransfer of power. Since then, Turkish political parties havemultiplied, but democracy has been fractured by periods ofinstability and intermittent military coups (1960, 1971, 1980),which in each case eventually resulted in a return of politicalpower to civilians. In 1997, the military again helped engineer theouster - popularly dubbed a "post-modern coup" - of the thenIslamic-oriented government. Turkey intervened militarily on Cyprusin 1974 to prevent a Greek takeover of the island and has sinceacted as patron state to the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus,"which only Turkey recognizes. A separatist insurgency begun in 1984by the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) - now known as the People'sCongress of Kurdistan or Kongra-Gel (KGK) - has dominated theTurkish military's attention and claimed more than 30,000 lives, butafter the capture of the group's leader in 1999, the insurgentslargely withdrew from Turkey, mainly to northern Iraq. In 2004, KGKannounced an end to its ceasefire and attacks attributed to the KGKincreased. Turkey joined the UN in 1945 and in 1952 it became amember of NATO. In 1964, Turkey became an associate member of theEuropean Community; over the past decade, it has undertaken manyreforms to strengthen its democracy and economy, enabling it tobegin accession membership talks with the European Union.
TurkmenistanAnnexed by Russia between 1865 and 1885, Turkmenistanbecame a Soviet republic in 1924. It achieved its independence uponthe dissolution of the USSR in 1991. President NIYAZOV retainsabsolute control over the country and opposition is not tolerated.Extensive hydrocarbon/natural gas reserves could prove a boon tothis underdeveloped country if extraction and delivery projects wereto be expanded. The Turkmenistan Government is actively seeking todevelop alternative petroleum transportation routes in order tobreak Russia's pipeline monopoly.
Turks and Caicos IslandsThe islands were part of the UK's Jamaicancolony until 1962, when they assumed the status of a separate crowncolony upon Jamaica's independence. The governor of The Bahamasoversaw affairs from 1965 to 1973. With Bahamian independence, theislands received a separate governor in 1973. Although independencewas agreed upon for 1982, the policy was reversed and the islandsremain a British overseas territory.
TuvaluIn 1974, ethnic differences within the British colony of theGilbert and Ellice Islands caused the Polynesians of the ElliceIslands to vote for separation from the Micronesians of the GilbertIslands. The following year, the Ellice Islands became the separateBritish colony of Tuvalu. Independence was granted in 1978. In 2000,Tuvalu negotiated a contract leasing its Internet domain name ".tv"for $50 million in royalties over the next dozen years.
UgandaUganda achieved independence from the UK in 1962. Thedictatorial regime of Idi AMIN (1971-79) was responsible for thedeaths of some 300,000 opponents; guerrilla war and human rightsabuses under Milton OBOTE (1980-85) claimed at least another 100,000lives. During the 1990s, the government promulgated non-partypresidential and legislative elections.
UkraineUkraine was the center of the first Slavic state, KievanRus, which during the 10th and 11th centuries was the largest andmost powerful state in Europe. Weakened by internecine quarrels andMongol invasions, Kievan Rus was incorporated into the Grand Duchyof Lithuania and eventually into the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.The cultural and religious legacy of Kievan Rus laid the foundationfor Ukrainian nationalism through subsequent centuries. A newUkrainian state, the Cossack Hetmanate, was established during themid-17th century after an uprising against the Poles. Despitecontinuous Muscovite pressure, the Hetmanate managed to remainautonomous for well over 100 years. During the latter part of the18th century, most Ukrainian ethnographic territory was absorbed bythe Russian Empire. Following the collapse of czarist Russia in1917, Ukraine was able to bring about a short-lived period ofindependence (1917-20), but was reconquered and forced to endure abrutal Soviet rule that engineered two artificial famines (1921-22and 1932-33) in which over 8 million died. In World War II, Germanand Soviet armies were responsible for some 7 to 8 million moredeaths. Although final independence for Ukraine was achieved in 1991with the dissolution of the USSR, democracy remained elusive as thelegacy of state control and endemic corruption stalled efforts ateconomic reform, privatization, and civil liberties. A peaceful massprotest "Orange Revolution" in the closing months of 2004 forced theauthorities to overturn a rigged presidential election and to allowa new internationally monitored vote that swept into power areformist slate under Viktor YUSHCHENKO. The new government presentsits citizens with hope that the country may at last attain truefreedom and prosperity.
United Arab EmiratesThe Trucial States of the Persian Gulf coastgranted the UK control of their defense and foreign affairs in 19thcentury treaties. In 1971, six of these states - Abu Zaby, 'Ajman,Al Fujayrah, Ash Shariqah, Dubayy, and Umm al Qaywayn - merged toform the United Arab Emirates (UAE). They were joined in 1972 byRa's al Khaymah. The UAE's per capita GDP is on par with those ofleading West European nations. Its generosity with oil revenues andits moderate foreign policy stance have allowed the UAE to play avital role in the affairs of the region.
United KingdomGreat Britain, the dominant industrial and maritimepower of the 19th century, played a leading role in developingparliamentary democracy and in advancing literature and science. Atits zenith, the British Empire stretched over one-fourth of theearth's surface. The first half of the 20th century saw the UK'sstrength seriously depleted in two World Wars. The second halfwitnessed the dismantling of the Empire and the UK rebuilding itselfinto a modern and prosperous European nation. As one of fivepermanent members of the UN Security Council, a founding member ofNATO, and of the Commonwealth, the UK pursues a global approach toforeign policy; it currently is weighing the degree of itsintegration with continental Europe. A member of the EU, it chose toremain outside the Economic and Monetary Union for the time being.Constitutional reform is also a significant issue in the UK. TheScottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and theNorthern Ireland Assembly were established in 1999, but the latteris suspended due to bickering over the peace process.
United StatesBritain's American colonies broke with the mothercountry in 1776 and were recognized as the new nation of the UnitedStates of America following the Treaty of Paris in 1783. During the19th and 20th centuries, 37 new states were added to the original 13as the nation expanded across the North American continent andacquired a number of overseas possessions. The two most traumaticexperiences in the nation's history were the Civil War (1861-65) andthe Great Depression of the 1930s. Buoyed by victories in World WarsI and II and the end of the Cold War in 1991, the US remains theworld's most powerful nation state. The economy is marked by steadygrowth, low unemployment and inflation, and rapid advances intechnology.
UruguayMontevideo, founded by the Spanish in 1726 as a militarystronghold, soon took advantage of its natural harbor to became animportant commercial center. Annexed by Brazil as a separateprovince in 1821, Uruguay declared its independence four years laterand secured its freedom in 1828 after a three-year struggle. Theadministrations of President BATLLE in the early 20th centuryestablished widespread political, social, and economic reforms. Aviolent Marxist urban guerrilla movement, the Tupamaros, launched inthe late 1960s, led Uruguay's president to agree to military controlof his administration in 1973. By yearend, the rebels had beencrushed, but the military continued to expand its hold throughoutthe government. Civilian rule was not restored until 1985. Uruguay'spolitical and labor conditions are among the freest on the continent.
UzbekistanRussia conquered Uzbekistan in the late 19th century.Stiff resistance to the Red Army after World War I was eventuallysuppressed and a socialist republic set up in 1924. During theSoviet era, intensive production of "white gold" (cotton) and grainled to overuse of agrochemicals and the depletion of water supplies,which have left the land poisoned and the Aral Sea and certainrivers half dry. Independent since 1991, the country seeks togradually lessen its dependence on agriculture while developing itsmineral and petroleum reserves. Current concerns include terrorismby Islamic militants, economic stagnation, and the curtailment ofhuman rights and democratization.
VanuatuThe British and French, who settled the New Hebrides in the19th century, agreed in 1906 to an Anglo-French Condominium, whichadministered the islands until independence in 1980.
VenezuelaVenezuela was one of three countries that emerged from thecollapse of Gran Colombia in 1830 (the others being Colombia andEcuador). For most of the first half of the 20th century, Venezuelawas ruled by generally benevolent military strongmen, who promotedthe oil industry and allowed for some social reforms. Democraticallyelected governments have held sway since 1959. Current concernsinclude: a polarized political environment, a politicized military,drug-related violence along the Colombian border, increasinginternal drug consumption, overdependence on the petroleum industrywith its price fluctuations, and irresponsible mining operationsthat are endangering the rain forest and indigenous peoples.
VietnamThe conquest of Vietnam by France began in 1858 and wascompleted by 1884. It became part of French Indochina in 1887.Independence was declared after World War II, but the Frenchcontinued to rule until 1954 when they were defeated by Communistforces under Ho Chi MINH, who took control of the North. US economicand military aid to South Vietnam grew through the 1960s in anattempt to bolster the government, but US armed forces werewithdrawn following a cease-fire agreement in 1973. Two years later,North Vietnamese forces overran the South. Despite the return ofpeace, for over two decades the country experienced little economicgrowth because of conservative leadership policies. Since 2001,Vietnamese authorities have committed to economic liberalization andenacted structural reforms needed to modernize the economy and toproduce more competitive, export-driven industries. The countrycontinues to experience protests from the Montagnard ethnic minoritypopulation of the Central Highlands over loss of land to Vietnamesesettlers and religious persecution.
Virgin Islands During the 17th century, the archipelago was divided into two territorial units, one English and the other Danish. Sugarcane, produced by slave labor, drove the islands' economy during the 18th and early 19th centuries. In 1917, the US purchased the Danish portion, which had been in economic decline since the abolition of slavery in 1848.
Wake IslandThe US annexed Wake Island in 1899 for a cable station.An important air and naval base was constructed in 1940-41. InDecember 1941, the island was captured by the Japanese and helduntil the end of World War II. In subsequent years, Wake wasdeveloped as a stopover and refueling site for military andcommercial aircraft transiting the Pacific. Since 1974, the island'sairstrip has been used by the US military and some commercial cargoplanes, as well as for emergency landings. There are over 700landings a year on the island.
Wallis and FutunaAlthough discovered by the Dutch and the Britishin the 17th and 18th centuries, it was the French who declared aprotectorate over the islands in 1842. In 1959, the inhabitants ofthe islands voted to become a French overseas territory.
West BankThe Israel-PLO Declaration of Principles on InterimSelf-Government Arrangements (the DOP), signed in Washington on 13September 1993, provided for a transitional period not exceedingfive years of Palestinian interim self-government in the Gaza Stripand the West Bank. Under the DOP, Israel agreed to transfer certainpowers and responsibilities to the Palestinian Authority, whichincludes the Palestinian Legislative Council elected in January1996, as part of the interim self-governing arrangements in the WestBank and Gaza Strip. A transfer of powers and responsibilities forthe Gaza Strip and Jericho took place pursuant to the Israel-PLO 4May 1994 Cairo Agreement on the Gaza Strip and the Jericho Area andin additional areas of the West Bank pursuant to the Israel-PLO 28September 1995 Interim Agreement, the Israel-PLO 15 January 1997Protocol Concerning Redeployment in Hebron, the Israel-PLO 23October 1998 Wye River Memorandum, and the 4 September 1999 Sharmel-Sheikh Agreement. The DOP provides that Israel will retainresponsibility during the transitional period for external andinternal security and for public order of settlements and Israelicitizens. Direct negotiations to determine the permanent status ofGaza and West Bank that began in September 1999 after a three-yearhiatus, were derailed by a second intifadah that broke out inSeptember 2000. The resulting widespread violence in the West Bankand Gaza Strip, Israel's military response, and instability withinthe Palestinian Authority continue to undermine progress toward apermanent agreement. Following the death of longtime Palestinianleader Yasir ARAFAT in November 2004, the election of his successorMahmud ABBAS in January 2005 could bring a turning point in theconflict.
Western SaharaMorocco virtually annexed the northern two-thirds ofWestern Sahara (formerly Spanish Sahara) in 1976, and the rest ofthe territory in 1979, following Mauritania's withdrawal. Aguerrilla war with the Polisario Front contesting Rabat'ssovereignty ended in a 1991 UN-brokered cease-fire; a UN-organizedreferendum on final status has been repeatedly postponed.
WorldGlobally, the 20th century was marked by: (a) two devastatingworld wars; (b) the Great Depression of the 1930s; (c) the end ofvast colonial empires; (d) rapid advances in science and technology,from the first airplane flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina (US) tothe landing on the moon; (e) the Cold War between the Westernalliance and the Warsaw Pact nations; (f) a sharp rise in livingstandards in North America, Europe, and Japan; (g) increasedconcerns about the environment, including loss of forests, shortagesof energy and water, the decline in biological diversity, and airpollution; (h) the onset of the AIDS epidemic; and (i) the ultimateemergence of the US as the only world superpower. The planet'spopulation continues to explode: from 1 billion in 1820, to 2billion in 1930, 3 billion in 1960, 4 billion in 1974, 5 billion in1988, and 6 billion in 2000. For the 21st century, the continuedexponential growth in science and technology raises both hopes(e.g., advances in medicine) and fears (e.g., development of evenmore lethal weapons of war).
YemenNorth Yemen became independent of the Ottoman Empire in 1918.The British, who had set up a protectorate area around the southernport of Aden in the 19th century, withdrew in 1967 from what becameSouth Yemen. Three years later, the southern government adopted aMarxist orientation. The massive exodus of hundreds of thousands ofYemenis from the south to the north contributed to two decades ofhostility between the states. The two countries were formallyunified as the Republic of Yemen in 1990. A southern secessionistmovement in 1994 was quickly subdued. In 2000, Saudi Arabia andYemen agreed to a delimitation of their border.
ZambiaThe territory of Northern Rhodesia was administered by theSouth Africa Company from 1891 until it was taken over by the UK in1923. During the 1920s and 1930s, advances in mining spurreddevelopment and immigration. The name was changed to Zambia uponindependence in 1964. In the 1980s and 1990s, declining copperprices and a prolonged drought hurt the economy. Elections in 1991brought an end to one-party rule, but the subsequent vote in 1996saw blatant harassment of opposition parties. The election in 2001was marked by administrative problems with three parties filing alegal petition challenging the election of ruling party candidateLevy MWANAWASA. The new president launched a far-reachinganti-corruption campaign in 2002, which resulted in the prosecutionof former President Frederick CHILUBA and many of his supporters inlate 2003. Opposition parties currently hold a majority of seats inthe National Assembly.
ZimbabweThe UK annexed Southern Rhodesia from the South AfricaCompany in 1923. A 1961 constitution was formulated that favoredwhites in power. In 1965 the government unilaterally declared itsindependence, but the UK did not recognize the act and demanded morecomplete voting rights for the black African majority in the country(then called Rhodesia). UN sanctions and a guerrilla uprisingfinally led to free elections in 1979 and independence (as Zimbabwe)in 1980. Robert MUGABE, the nation's first prime minister, has beenthe country's only ruler (as president since 1987) and has dominatedthe country's political system since independence. His chaotic landredistribution campaign begun in 2000 caused an exodus of whitefarmers, crippled the economy, and ushered in widespread shortagesof basic commodities. Ignoring international condemnation, MUGABErigged the 2002 presidential election to ensure his reelection.Opposition and labor groups launched general strikes in 2003 topressure MUGABE to retire early; security forces continued theirbrutal repression of regime opponents.
