OverviewUncover the mysteries of the past with this exciting, comprehensive guide on tahitian history. From the first polynesian settlements to the first contacts with the western navigators, passing by the US GIs in Bora Bora or the autonomy of this territory, each page takes you on an adventure through time to discover the most important moments in history and how they shaped this French overseas collectivity today. The author presents in a simple and concise manner 101 dates which marked the history of French Polynesia, a French territory of 118 islands in the South Pacific which stretches over an area as vast as half of the USA. - All history, even that which rests in oral literature, describing the pre-European period. - All of French Polynesia, that is to say Tahiti, Bora Bora but also the Marquesas, the Austral Islands, the Gambier and the practically uninhabited Tuamotu atolls. - All events, from the most serious, such as the involvement of this territory in the two world wars, to the lightest, such as the fourth place won against Brazil by Tahiti at the beach soccer world cup. Finally, it is the history of French Polynesia, as its inhabitants felt it. In this book, it is not Samuel Wallis or James Cook who discovered Tahiti, but the Tahitians who discovered these strangely dressed European navigators.
