in the Indian Ocean. It lies southwest of Sri Lanka and


India, about 750 kilometres (470 miles; 400 nautical
miles) from the Asian continent's mainland. Maldives'

Ihavandhippolhu Atoll in the north to Addu Atoll in the
south.
Republic of Maldives
In the 12th century Islam reached the
Maldivian Archipelago, which was
consolidated as a sultanate, developing
strong commercial and cultural ties with Asia
and Africa. From the mid-16th century, the
region came under the increasing influence of
European colonial powers, with Maldives
becoming a British protectorate in 1887.
Independence from the United Kingdom
came in 1965, and a presidential republic was
established in 1968 with an elected People's
Majlis. The ensuing decades have seen
political instability, efforts at democratic
reform,[16] and environmental challenges
posed by climate change and rising sea
levels.[17]

Bora Bora is a major international tourist
destination, famous for its seaside (and even

the main island, opposite the main channel
leading into the lagoon. Produce of the island
is mostly limited to what can be obtained from
the sea and from the plentiful coconut trees,
which were historically of economic
importance for the production of copra.
