Chapter 98

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 a 12-year period.

UgandaThe colonial boundaries created by Britain to delimit Ugandagrouped together a wide range of ethnic groups with differentpolitical systems and cultures. These differences prevented theestablishment of a working political community after independencewas achieved in 1962. The dictatorial regime of Idi AMIN (1971-79)was responsible for the deaths of some 300,000 opponents; guerrillawar and human rights abuses under Milton OBOTE (1980-85) claimed atleast another 100,000 lives. The rule of Yoweri MUSEVENI since 1986has brought relative stability and economic growth to Uganda. Duringthe 1990s, the government promulgated non-party presidential andlegislative elections.

UkraineUkraine was the center of the first eastern Slavic state,Kyivan Rus, which during the 10th and 11th centuries was the largestand most powerful state in Europe. Weakened by internecine quarrelsand Mongol invasions, Kyivan Rus was incorporated into the GrandDuchy of Lithuania and eventually into the Polish-LithuanianCommonwealth. The cultural and religious legacy of Kyivan Rus laidthe foundation for Ukrainian nationalism through subsequentcenturies. A new Ukrainian state, the Cossack Hetmanate, wasestablished during the mid-17th century after an uprising againstthe Poles. Despite continuous Muscovite pressure, the Hetmanatemanaged to remain autonomous for well over 100 years. During thelatter part of the 18th century, most Ukrainian ethnographicterritory was absorbed by the Russian Empire. Following the collapseof czarist Russia in 1917, Ukraine was able to bring about ashort-lived period of independence (1917-20), but was reconqueredand forced to endure a brutal Soviet rule that engineered twoartificial famines (1921-22 and 1932-33) in which over 8 milliondied. In World War II, German and Soviet armies were responsible forsome 7 to 8 million more deaths. Although final independence forUkraine was achieved in 1991 with the dissolution of the USSR,democracy remained elusive as the legacy of state control andendemic corruption stalled efforts at economic reform,privatization, and civil liberties. A peaceful mass protest "OrangeRevolution" in the closing months of 2004 forced the authorities tooverturn a rigged presidential election and to allow a newinternationally monitored vote that swept into power a reformistslate under Viktor YUSHCHENKO. Subsequent internal squabbles in theYUSHCHENKO camp allowed his rival Viktor YANUKOVYCH to stage acomeback in parliamentary elections and become prime minister inAugust of 2006.

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 KingdomAs the dominant industrial and maritime power of the19th century, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland playeda leading role in developing parliamentary democracy and inadvancing literature and science. At its zenith, the British Empirestretched over one-fourth of the earth's surface. The first half ofthe 20th century saw the UK's strength seriously depleted in twoWorld Wars and the Irish republic withdraw from the union. Thesecond half witnessed the dismantling of the Empire and the UKrebuilding itself into a modern and prosperous European nation. Asone of five permanent members of the UN Security Council, a foundingmember of NATO, and of the Commonwealth, the UK pursues a globalapproach to foreign policy; it currently is weighing the degree ofits integration with continental Europe. A member of the EU, itchose to remain outside the Economic and Monetary Union for the timebeing. Constitutional reform is also a significant issue in the UK.The Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and theNorthern Ireland Assembly were established in 1999, but the latteris suspended due to wrangling 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.

United States Pacific Island Wildlife Refuges The following US Pacific island territories constitute the Pacific Remote Islands National Wildlife Refuge Complex and as such are managed by the Fish and Wildlife Service of the US Department of Interior. These remote refuges are the most widespread collection of marine- and terrestrial-life protected areas on the planet under a single country's jurisdiction. They protect many endemic species including corals, fish, shellfish, marine mammals, seabirds, water birds, land birds, insects, and vegetation not found elsewhere. Baker Island: The US took possession of the island in 1857, and its guano deposits were mined by US and British companies during the second half of the 19th century. In 1935, a short-lived attempt at colonization began on this island but was disrupted by World War II and thereafter abandoned. The island was established as a National Wildlife Refuge in 1974. Howland Island: Discovered by the US early in the 19th century, the island was officially claimed by the US in 1857. Both US and British companies mined for guano until about 1890. In 1935, a short-lived attempt at colonization began on this island, similar to the effort on nearby Baker Island, but was disrupted by World War II and thereafter abandoned. The famed American aviatrix Amelia EARHART disappeared while seeking out Howland Island as a refueling stop during her 1937 round-the-world flight; Earhart Light, a day beacon near the middle of the west coast, was named in her memory. The island was established as a National Wildlife Refuge in 1974. Jarvis Island: First discovered by the British in 1821, the uninhabited island was annexed by the US in 1858, but abandoned in 1879 after tons of guano had been removed. The UK annexed the island in 1889, but never carried out plans for further exploitation. The US occupied and reclaimed the island in 1935 until it was abandoned in 1942 during World War II. The island was established as a National Wildlife Refuge in 1974. Johnston Atoll: Both the US and the Kingdom of Hawaii annexed Johnston Atoll in 1858, but it was the US that mined the guano deposits until the late 1880s. Johnston and Sand Islands were designated wildlife refuges in 1926. The US Navy took over the atoll in 1934, and subsequently the US Air Force assumed control in 1948. The site was used for high-altitude nuclear tests in the 1950s and 1960s, and until late in 2000 the atoll was maintained as a storage and disposal site for chemical weapons. Munitions destruction is now complete. Cleanup and closure of the facility was completed by May 2005. The Fish and Wildlife Service and the US Air Force are currently discussing future management options; in the interim, Johnston Atoll and the three-mile Naval Defensive Sea around it remain under the jurisdiction and administrative control of the US Air Force. Kingman Reef: The US annexed the reef in 1922. Its sheltered lagoon served as a way station for flying boats on Hawaii-to-American Samoa flights during the late 1930s. There are no terrestrial plants on the reef, which is frequently awash, but it does support abundant and diverse marine fauna and flora. In 2001, the waters surrounding the reef out to 12 nm were designated a US National Wildlife Refuge. Midway Islands: The US took formal possession of the islands in 1867. The laying of the trans-Pacific cable, which passed through the islands, brought the first residents in 1903. Between 1935 and 1947, Midway was used as a refueling stop for trans-Pacific flights. The US naval victory over a Japanese fleet off Midway in 1942 was one of the turning points of World War II. The islands continued to serve as a naval station until closed in 1993. Today the islands are a National Wildlife Refuge and are the site of the world's largest Laysan albatross colony. Palmyra Atoll: The Kingdom of Hawaii claimed the atoll in 1862, and the US included it among the Hawaiian Islands when it annexed the archipelago in 1898. The Hawaii Statehood Act of 1959 did not include Palmyra Atoll, which is now partly privately owned by the Nature Conservancy with the rest owned by the Federal government and managed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. These organizations are managing the atoll as a wildlife refuge. The lagoons and surrounding waters within the 12 nm US territorial seas were transferred to the US Fish and Wildlife Service and designated as a National Wildlife Refuge in January 2001.

UruguayMontevideo, founded by the Spanish in 1726 as a militarystronghold, soon took advantage of its natural harbor to become animportant commercial center. Claimed by Argentina but annexed byBrazil in 1821, Uruguay declared its independence four years laterand secured its freedom in 1828 after a three-year struggle. Theadministrations of President Jose BATLLE in the early 20th centuryestablished widespread political, social, and economic reforms thatestablished a statist tradition. A violent Marxist urban guerrillamovement named the Tupamaros, launched in the late 1960s, ledUruguay's president to cede control of the government to themilitary in 1973. By yearend, the rebels had been crushed, but themilitary continued to expand its hold over the government. Civilianrule was not restored until 1985. In 2004, the left-of-center FrenteAmplio Coalition won national elections that effectively ended 170years of political control previously held by the Colorado andBlanco parties. Uruguay's political and labor conditions are amongthe 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.

VanuatuMultiple waves of colonizers, each speaking a distinctlanguage, migrated to the New Hebrides in the millennia preceedingEuropean exploration in the 18th century. This settlement patternaccounts for the complex linguistic diversity found on thearchipelago to this day. The British and French, who settled the NewHebrides in the 19th century, agreed in 1906 to an Anglo-FrenchCondominium, which administered the islands until independence in1980, when the new name of Vanuatu was adopted.

VenezuelaVenezuela was one of three countries that emerged from thecollapse of Gran Colombia in 1830 (the others being Ecuador and NewGranada, which became Colombia). For most of the first half of the20th century, Venezuela was ruled by generally benevolent militarystrongmen, who promoted the oil industry and allowed for some socialreforms. Democratically elected governments have held sway since1959. Hugo CHAVEZ, president since 1999, has promoted acontroversial policy of "democratic socialism," which purports toalleviate social ills while at the same time attacking globalizationand undermining regional stability. Current concerns include: aweakening of democratic institutions, political polarization, apoliticized military, drug-related violence along the Colombianborder, increasing internal drug consumption, overdependence on thepetroleum industry with its price fluctuations, and irresponsiblemining operations that are endangering the rain forest andindigenous peoples.

VietnamThe conquest of Vietnam by France began in 1858 and wascompleted by 1884. It became part of French Indochina in 1887.Vietnam declared independence after World War II, but Francecontinued to rule until its 1954 defeat by Communist forces under HoChi MINH. Under the Geneva Accords of 1954, Vietnam was divided intothe Communist North and anti-Communist South. US economic andmilitary aid to South Vietnam grew through the 1960s in an attemptto bolster the government, but US armed forces were withdrawnfollowing a cease-fire agreement in 1973. Two years later, NorthVietnamese forces overran the South reuniting the country underCommunist rule. Despite the return of peace, for over a decade thecountry experienced little economic growth because of conservativeleadership policies. However, since the enactment of Vietnam's "doimoi" (renovation) policy in 1986, Vietnamese authorities havecommitted to increased economic liberalization and enactedstructural reforms needed to modernize the economy and to producemore competitive, export-driven industries. The country continues toexperience protests from various groups - such as the ProtestantMontagnard ethnic minority population of the Central Highlands andthe Hoa Hao Buddhists in southern Vietnam over religiouspersecution. Montagnard grievances also include the loss of land toVietnamese settlers.

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, as well as for emergencylandings. All operations on the island were suspended and allpersonnel evacuated in August 2006 with the approach of supertyphoon IOKE (category 5), which struck the island with sustainedwinds of 250 kph and a 6 m storm surge inflicting major damage. A USAir Force assessment and repair team returned to the island inSeptember and restored limited function to the airfield andfacilities. The future status of activities on the island will bedetermined upon completion of the survey and assessment.

Wallis and FutunaThe Futuna island group was discovered by theDutch in 1616 and Wallis by the British in 1767, but it was theFrench who declared a protectorate over the islands in 1842. In1959, the inhabitants of the islands voted to become a Frenchoverseas territory.

West BankThe Israel-PLO Declaration of Principles on InterimSelf-Government Arrangements (the DOP), signed in Washington inSeptember 1993, provided for a transitional period of Palestinianinterim self-government in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Atransfer of authority to the Palestinian Authority (PA) for the GazaStrip and Jericho took place pursuant to the Israel-PLO 4 May 1994Cairo Agreement on the Gaza Strip and the Jericho Area and, inadditional 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. Direct negotiations to determine the permanentstatus of Gaza and the West Bank began in September 1999 after athree-year hiatus, but were derailed by a second intifadah thatbroke out a year later. In April 2003, the Quartet (US, EU, UN, andRussia) presented a roadmap to a final settlement of the conflict by2005 based on reciprocal steps by the two parties leading to twostates, Israel and a democratic Palestine. The proposed date for apermanent status agreement has been postponed indefinitely due toviolence and accusations that both sides have not followed throughon their commitments. Following Palestinian leader Yasir ARAFAT'sdeath in late 2004, Mahmud ABBAS was elected PA president in January2005. A month later, Israel and the PA agreed to the Sharm el-SheikhCommitments in an effort to move the peace process forward. InSeptember 2005, Israel withdrew all its settlers and soldiers anddismantled its military facilities in the Gaza Strip and fournorthern West Bank settlements. Nonetheless, Israel controlsmaritime, airspace, and most access to the Gaza Strip. A November2005 PA-Israeli agreement authorized the reopening of the Rafahborder crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt under joint PA andEgyptian control. In January 2006, the Islamic Resistance Movement,HAMAS, won control of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC). Theinternational community has refused to accept the HAMAS-ledgovernment because it does not recognize Israel, will not renounceviolence, and refuses to honor previous peace agreements betweenIsrael and the PA. Since March 2006, President Abbas has had littlesuccess negotiating with HAMAS to present a political platformacceptable to the international community so as to lift the economicsiege on Palestinians. The PLC was unable to convene in late 2006 asa result of Israel's detention of many HAMAS PLC members andIsraeli-imposed travel restrictions on other PLC members.

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 the[British] South Africa Company from 1891 until it was taken over bythe UK in 1923. During the 1920s and 1930s, advances in miningspurred development and immigration. The name was changed to Zambiaupon independence 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 an anticorruption taskforce in 2002, but the government has yet to make a prosecution. TheZambian leader was reelected in 2006 in an election that was deemedfree and fair.

ZimbabweThe UK annexed Southern Rhodesia from the [British] SouthAfrica Company in 1923. A 1961 constitution was formulated thatfavored whites in power. In 1965 the government unilaterallydeclared its independence, but the UK did not recognize the act anddemanded more complete voting rights for the black African majorityin the country (then called Rhodesia). UN sanctions and a guerrillauprising finally led to free elections in 1979 and independence (asZimbabwe) in 1980. Robert MUGABE, the nation's first prime minister,has been the country's only ruler (as president since 1987) and hasdominated the country's political system since independence. Hischaotic land redistribution campaign, which began in 2000, caused anexodus of white farmers, crippled the economy, and ushered inwidespread shortages of basic commodities. Ignoring internationalcondemnation, MUGABE rigged the 2002 presidential election to ensurehis reelection. Opposition and labor strikes in 2003 wereunsuccessful in pressuring MUGABE to retire early; security forcescontinued their brutal repression of regime opponents. The rulingZANU-PF party used fraud and intimidation to win a two-thirdsmajority in the March 2005 parliamentary election, allowing it toamend the constitution at will and recreate the Senate, which hadbeen abolished in the late 1980s. In April 2005, Harare embarked onOperation Restore Order, ostensibly an urban rationalizationprogram, which resulted in the destruction of the homes orbusinesses of 700,000 mostly poor supporters of the opposition,according to UN estimates. ZANU-PF announced in December 2006 thatthey would combine presidential and parliamentary elections in 2010to ensure MUGABE remains in office.
