*The island of Funafuti was named Ellice's Island in 1819. Later, the name Ellice began to be applied to the whole nine-island group. In the late 19th century, Great Britain claimed control over the Ellice Islands. | |||
*Beginning in 1892, the Ellice Islands were administered as part of the '''British Western Pacific Territories (BWPT)'''. From 1916 to 1975, they were managed as part of the '''Gilbert and Ellice Islands colony'''. | |||
*The Gilbert and Ellice Islands colony legally ceased to exist on 1 October 1975, and on 1 January 1976, '''two separate British colonies, Kiribati and Tuvalu, were formed'''. On 1 October 1978, Tuvalu became fully independent. | |||
