This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | In 1506, Spain explored the land that includes present-day Belize and declared it as part of the Spanish Empire. However, the indigenous population successfully fought off efforts at full-scale Spanish colonization. In the late 1700s, the Spanish granted the British the right to occupy the land in exchange for defending the country against pirates. British settlements began to arise, and in 1798 the Spanish attacked Belize in their last attempt to retain their land. Spain was defeated by the British, and in 1862 the region became an official crown colony and was renamed British Honduras.[1] |
