История на Соломоновите острови Откривайки Соломоновите острови през 1568 г., А̀лваро де Менда̀ня де Нѐйра установява, че на тях има много злато и решава, че те са част от легендарната страна на цар Соломон. Така архипелагътк получава името Соломонови острови. Тъй като на на островите е широко разпространен канибализмът, европейците не посмяват да ги завладеят. Островите са колонизирани едва през 1893 г. Поделени са между Великобритания и Германия. През 1975 г. Папуа-Нова Гвинея получава независимост, като германската част (островите Бугенвил и Бука) влизат в състава на новата държава. През 1978 г. британската част от островите става независима държава, наречена Соломонови острови, но без да включва Бугенвил и Бука.

Outline of the Solomon Islands The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Solomon Islands: Solomon Islands is a sovereign Melanesian island nation located in the South Pacific Ocean south-east of Papua New Guinea.[1] The country is composed of nearly one thousand islands of the Solomon Islands archipelago, which cover a total land area of 27,540 square kilometres (10,630 sq mi). The capital is Honiara, located on the island of Guadalcanal. The Solomon Islands archipelago is believed to have been inhabited by Melanesian people for thousands of years. Some of the most bitter fighting of World War II occurred in the Solomon Islands campaign of 1942–45, including the Battle of Guadalcanal. Self-government was achieved in 1976 and independence two years later. The country is a Commonwealth realm. The historical North Solomon Islands covered Bougainville Island, Choiseul, Santa Isabel, the Shortlands and Ontong Java and were largely under German control until 1900. The southern Solomon Islands, which included Guadalcanal, the Nggelas, Gizo, Kolombangara, Marovo Island, Mborokua, New Georgia, Vella Lavella, Vangunu, Rennell, Bellona, Makira, Malaita, Temotu and a number of associated smaller islands were under British control and in 1893 became the British Solomon Islands Protectorate. In 1945, Bougainville, and some associated minor islands, were transferred away from the protectorate to Australian administration and then in 1970 became a part of Papua New Guinea. The remainder stayed under the protectorate until independence in 1978 at which point they were officially named Solomon Islands. All of the north and south Solomon Islands taken together are generally referred to as the Solomon Islands to distinguish them from the nation state of Solomon Islands. Since 1998, ethnic violence, government misconduct, and crime have undermined stability and civil society. In June 2003 an Australian-led "multinational" force, the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI), arrived to restore peace and disarm ethnic militias.[2] Contents - 1 General reference - 2 Geography of Solomon Islands - 3 Government and politics of Solomon Islands - 3.1 Branches of the government of Solomon Islands - 3.2 Foreign relations of Solomon Islands - 3.3 Law and order in Solomon Islands - 3.4 Military of the Solomon Islands - 3.5 Local government in Solomon Islands - 4 History of Solomon Islands - 5 Culture of Solomon Islands - 6 Economy and infrastructure of Solomon Islands - 7 Education in Solomon Islands - 8 Infrastructure of Solomon Islands - 9 See also - 10 References - 11 External links General reference[edit] - Pronunciation: - Common English country name: Solomon Islands - Official English country name: Solomon Islands - Common endonym(s): - Official endonym(s): - Adjectival(s): Solomon Island - Demonym(s): - Etymology: Name of Solomon Islands - ISO country codes: SB, SLB, 090 - ISO region codes: See ISO 3166-2:SB - Internet country code top-level domain: .sb Geography of Solomon Islands[edit] [[Image:Guadalcanal Topography.png|thumb|Topographical map of the island of [[Guadalcanal], click to enlarge]]] The term the Solomon Islands refers to the group of islands that includes the islands of the nation state Solomon Islands but also other islands such as Bougainville, a province of Papua New Guinea. The Solomon Islands was the name given to this wider group of geographical islands by the British administration up to the independence of Solomon Islands in 1978; this article concerns itself with the political entity, the nation state of Solomon Islands. - Solomon Islands is... - a country - an island country - a nation state - a Commonwealth realm - consists of an archipelago - a country - Location: - Southern Hemisphere and Eastern Hemisphere - Pacific Ocean - South Pacific Ocean - Oceania - South Pacific Ocean - Time zone: UTC+11 - Extreme points of Solomon Islands - High: Mount Popomanaseu on Guadalcanal 2,335 m (7,661 ft) - Low: South Pacific Ocean 0 m - Land boundaries: none - Coastline: South Pacific Ocean 5,313 km - Population of Solomon Islands: - Area of Solomon Islands: - Atlas of Solomon Islands Environment of Solomon Islands[edit] [[Image:Choiseul Island NASA.jpg|thumb|An enlargeable satellite image of the island of Choiseul]] - Climate of Solomon Islands - Renewable energy in Solomon Islands - Geology of Solomon Islands - Protected areas of Solomon Islands - Wildlife of Solomon Islands Natural geographic features of Solomon Islands[edit] - Islands of Solomon Islands - Lakes of Solomon Islands - Mountains of Solomon Islands - Rivers of Solomon Islands - Valleys of Solomon Islands - World Heritage Sites in Solomon Islands Regions of Solomon Islands[edit] Ecoregions of Solomon Islands[edit] Administrative divisions of Solomon Islands[edit] Provinces of Solomon Islands[edit] Demography of Solomon Islands[edit] Government and politics of Solomon Islands[edit] - Main article: Politics of Solomon Islands - Form of government: parliamentary monarchy (Commonwealth realm) - Capital of Solomon Islands: Honiara Branches of the government of Solomon Islands[edit] Executive branch of the government of the Solomon Islands[edit] - Head of state: Elizabeth II, Queen of Solomon Islands - Head of government: Gordon Darcy Lilo, Prime Minister of Solomon Islands - Cabinet of Solomon Islands Legislative branch of the government of the Solomon Islands[edit] Judicial branch of the government of Solomon Islands[edit] - Court of Appeal (supreme court) Foreign relations of Solomon Islands[edit] International organisation membership[edit] The government of Solomon Islands is a member of:[1] Law and order in Solomon Islands[edit] - Constitution of Solomon Islands - Crime in Solomon Islands - Human rights in Solomon Islands - Law enforcement in Solomon Islands Military of the Solomon Islands[edit] There is no military in Solomon Islands.[3] Local government in Solomon Islands[edit] History of Solomon Islands[edit] - Main article: History of Solomon Islands, Timeline of the history of Solomon Islands, and Current events of the Solomon Islands Culture of Solomon Islands[edit] - Architecture of Solomon Islands - Cuisine of the Solomon Islands - Festivals in Solomon Islands - Languages of the Solomon Islands - Media in the Solomon Islands - National symbols of Solomon Islands - People of Solomon Islands - Public holidays in the Solomon Islands - Records of Solomon Islands - Religion in the Solomon Islands - World Heritage Sites in Solomon Islands Art in Solomon Islands[edit] - Art in Solomon Islands - Cinema of Solomon Islands - Literature of Solomon Islands - Music of the Solomon Islands - Television in Solomon Islands - Theatre in Solomon Islands Sports in Solomon Islands[edit] Economy and infrastructure of Solomon Islands[edit] - Economic rank, by nominal GDP (2007): 181st (one hundred and eighty first) - Agriculture in Solomon Islands - Banking in Solomon Islands - Communications in the Solomon Islands - Companies of Solomon Islands - Energy in Solomon Islands - Mining in Solomon Islands - Tourism in Solomon Islands - Transport in the Solomon Islands - Solomon Islands Stock Exchange Education in Solomon Islands[edit] Infrastructure of Solomon Islands[edit] - Health care in Solomon Islands - Transportation in the Solomon Islands - Water supply and sanitation in Solomon Islands See also[edit] - Index of Solomon Islands-related articles - List of international rankings - List of Solomon Islands-related topics - Member state of the Commonwealth of Nations - Member state of the United Nations - Outline of geography - Outline of Oceania References[edit] - ^ a b "Solomon Islands".
