*In 1892, the Gilbert Islands became a British protectorate together with the nearby Ellice Islands. They became a colony in 1916 and finally became autonomous in 1971. In 1978, the Ellice Islands became the independent nation of Tuvalu, and Kiribati's independence followed on July 12, 1979. ***http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/Oceaniaweb/snapshot/Snapshot-Oceania-6.htm
