They were named by Krusenstern, after English explorer John Marshall, who visited them together with Thomas Gilbert in , en route from Botany Bay to Canton two ships of the First Fleet. In the British government transferred some administrative responsibility over south-east New Guinea to Australia which renamed the area "Territory of Papua" ; and in , transferred all remaining responsibility to Australia. The Marshall Islands were claimed by Spain in Germany established colonies in New Guinea in , and Samoa in The United States also expanded into the Pacific, beginning with Baker Island and Howland Island in , and with Hawaii becoming a U.

territory in Disagreements between the US, Germany and UK over Samoa led to the Tripartite Convention of One of the first land offensives in Oceania was the Occupation of German Samoa in August by New Zealand forces. The campaign to take Samoa ended without bloodshed after over 1, New Zealanders landed on the German colony. Australian forces attacked German New Guinea in September A company of Australians and a British warship besieged the Germans and their colonial subjects, ending with a German surrender. The attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese Imperial General Headquarters, [61] [62] was a surprise military strike conducted by the Imperial Japanese Navy against the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on the morning of 7 December The attack led to the United States' entry into World War II.

The Japanese subsequently invaded New Guinea, Solomon Islands and other Pacific islands. The Japanese were turned back at the Battle of the Coral Sea and the Kokoda Track campaign before they were finally defeated in Some of the most prominent Oceanic battlegrounds were the Battle of Bita Paka, the Solomon Islands campaign, the Air raids on Darwin, the Kokada Track, and the Borneo campaign. Australia and New Zealand became dominions in the 20th century, adopting the Statute of Westminster Act in and respectively. In , Polynesians were granted French citizenship and the islands' status was changed to an overseas territory; the islands' name was changed in to Polynésie Française French Polynesia. Hawaii became a U. state in Fiji and Tonga became independent in On 1 May , in recognition of the evolving political status of the Marshall Islands, the United States recognized the constitution of the Marshall Islands and the establishment of the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

The South Pacific Forum was founded in , which became the Pacific Islands Forum in Oceania was originally conceived as the lands of the Pacific Ocean, stretching from the Strait of Malacca to the coast of the Americas. It comprised four regions: Polynesia , Micronesia , Malaysia now called the Malay Archipelago , and Melanesia. Oceania extends to New Guinea in the west, the Bonin Islands in the northwest, the Hawaiian Islands in the northeast, Rapa Nui and Sala y Gómez Island in the east, and Macquarie Island in the south. Not included are the Pacific islands of Taiwan, the Ryukyu Islands, and the Japanese archipelago, all on the margins of Asia, and the Aleutian Islands of North America.

In its periphery, Oceania sprawls 28 degrees north to the Bonin Islands in the northern hemisphere, and 55 degrees south to Macquarie Island in the southern hemisphere. Oceanian islands are of four basic types: continental islands, high islands, coral reefs and uplifted coral platforms. High islands are of volcanic origin, and many contain active volcanoes. Among these are Bougainville, Hawaii, and Solomon Islands. Oceania is one of eight terrestrial biogeographic realms, which constitute the major ecological regions of the planet. Related to these concepts are Near Oceania, that part of western Island Melanesia which has been inhabited for tens of millennia, and Remote Oceania which is more recently settled. Although the majority of the Oceanian islands lie in the South Pacific, a few of them are not restricted to the Pacific Ocean — Kangaroo Island and Ashmore and Cartier Islands, for instance, are situated in the Southern Ocean and Indian Ocean, respectively, and Tasmania's west coast faces the Southern Ocean.

One of the most dramatic is the Great Barrier Reef off northeastern Australia with chains of reef patches. A second island type formed of coral is the uplifted coral platform, which is usually slightly larger than the low coral islands. Examples include Banaba formerly Ocean Island and Makatea in the Tuamotu group of French Polynesia. Micronesia, which lies north of the equator and west of the International Date Line, includes the Mariana Islands in the northwest, the Caroline Islands in the center, the Marshall Islands to the west and the islands of Kiribati in the southeast. Melanesia, to the southwest, includes New Guinea, the world's second largest island after Greenland and by far the largest of the Pacific islands. The other main Melanesian groups from north to south are the Maluku Islands Archipelago, the Bismarck Archipelago, the Solomon Islands archipelago, Santa Cruz, Vanuatu, Fiji and New Caledonia.

Polynesia, stretching from Hawaii in the north to New Zealand in the south, also encompasses Tuvalu, Tokelau, Samoa, Tonga and the Kermadec Islands to the west, the Cook Islands, Society Islands and Austral Islands in the center, and the Marquesas Islands, Tuamotu, Mangareva Islands, and Easter Island to the east. Australasia comprises Australia, New Zealand, the island of New Guinea, and neighbouring islands in the Pacific Ocean. Along with India most of Australasia lies on the Indo-Australian Plate with the latter occupying the Southern area. It is flanked by the Indian Ocean to the west and the Southern Ocean to the south.

The Pacific Plate, which makes up most of Oceania, is an oceanic tectonic plate that lies beneath the Pacific Ocean. At million square kilometres 40,, sq mi , it is the largest tectonic plate. The plate contains an interior hot spot forming the Hawaiian Islands. Australia, being part of the Indo-Australian plate, is the lowest, flattest, and oldest landmass on Earth [81] and it has had a relatively stable geological history. Geological forces such as tectonic uplift of mountain ranges or clashes between tectonic plates occurred mainly in Australia's early history, when it was still a part of Gondwana.

Australia is situated in the middle of the tectonic plate, and therefore currently has no active volcanism. Much of the basement rock of New Zealand was once part of the super-continent of Gondwana, along with South America, Africa, Madagascar, India, Antarctica and Australia. The rocks that now form the continent of Zealandia were nestled between Eastern Australia and Western Antarctica. The Australia-New Zealand continental fragment of Gondwana split from the rest of Gondwana in the late Cretaceous time 95—90 Ma. By 75 Ma, Zealandia was essentially separate from Australia and Antarctica, although only shallow seas might have separated Zealandia and Australia in the north.

The Tasman Sea, and part of Zealandia then locked together with Australia to form the Australian Plate 40 Ma , and a new plate boundary was created between the Australian Plate and Pacific Plate. Most islands in the Pacific are high islands volcanic islands , such as, Easter Island, American Samoa and Fiji, among others, having peaks up to m rising abruptly from the shore. The most diverse country of Oceania when it comes to the environment is Australia, with tropical rainforests in the north-east, mountain ranges in the south-east, south-west and east, and dry desert in the centre. Prominent features of the Australian flora are adaptations to aridity and fire which include scleromorphy and serotiny. These adaptations are common in species from the large and well-known families Proteaceae Banksia , Myrtaceae Eucalyptus — gum trees , and Fabaceae Acacia — wattle.

The flora of Fiji, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and New Caledonia is tropical dry forest, with tropical vegetation that includes palm trees, premna protrusa, psydrax odorata, gyrocarpus americanus and derris trifoliata. New Zealand's landscape ranges from the fjord-like sounds of the southwest to the tropical beaches of the far north. South Island is dominated by the Southern Alps. There are 18 peaks of more than metres ft in the South Island. Earthquakes are common, though usually not severe, averaging 3, per year. In Hawaii, one endemic plant, Brighamia , now requires hand-pollination because its natural pollinator is presumed to be extinct. rockii and B. insignis — are represented in the wild by around individual plants. To ensure these plants set seed, biologists rappel down metre 3, ft cliffs to brush pollen onto their stigmas.

The Pacific robin inhabits the islands of the south western Pacific. The aptly-named Pacific kingfisher is found in the Pacific Islands, [] as is the Red-vented bulbul, [] Polynesian starling, [] Brown goshawk, [] Pacific Swallow [] and the Cardinal myzomela, among others. The Pitcairn reed warbler, endemic to Pitcairn Island, was added to the endangered species list in Native to Hawaii is the Hawaiian crow, which has been extinct in the wild since A unique feature of Australia's fauna is the relative scarcity of native placental mammals, and dominance of the marsupials — a group of mammals that raise their young in a pouch, including the macropods, possums and dasyuromorphs. The passerines of Australia, also known as songbirds or perching birds, include wrens, the magpie group, thornbills, corvids, pardalotes, lyrebirds.

The birds of New Zealand evolved into an avifauna that included a large number of endemic species. As an island archipelago New Zealand accumulated bird diversity and when Captain James Cook arrived in the s he noted that the bird song was deafening. The mix includes species with unusual biology such as the kakapo which is the world's only flightless, nocturnal, lek breeding parrot, but also many species that are similar to neighboring land areas. Some of the more well known and distinctive bird species in New Zealand are the kiwi, kea, takahe, kakapo, mohua, tui and the bellbird.

The Pacific Islands are ruled by a tropical rainforest and tropical savanna climate. In the tropical and subtropical Pacific, the El Niño Southern Oscillation ENSO affects weather conditions. To the southwest of the region, in the Australian landmass, the climate is mostly desert or semi-arid, with the southern coastal corners having a temperate climate, such as oceanic and humid subtropical climate in the east coast and Mediterranean climate in the west. The northern parts of the country have a tropical climate. Most regions of New Zealand belong to the temperate zone with a maritime climate Köppen climate classification: Cfb characterised by four distinct seasons. Conditions vary from extremely wet on the West Coast of the South Island to almost semi-arid in Central Otago and subtropical in Northland.

It is extremely rare at sea level in the North Island. Hawaii, although being in the tropics, experiences many different climates, depending on latitude and its geography. The island of Hawaii for example hosts 4 out of 5 in total climate groups on a surface as small as 10, km 2 4, sq mi according to the Köppen climate types: tropical, arid, temperate and polar. The Hawaiian Islands receive most of their precipitation during the winter months October to April. The highest recorded temperature in Oceania occurred in Oodnadatta, South Australia 2 January , where the temperature reached The linked map below shows the exclusive economic zones EEZs of the islands of Oceania and neighbouring areas, as a guide to the following table there are few land boundaries that can be drawn on a map of the Pacific at this scale.

The demographic table below shows the subregions and countries of geopolitical Oceania. The countries and territories in this table are categorised according to the scheme for geographic subregions used by the United Nations. The information shown follows sources in cross-referenced articles; where sources differ, provisos have been clearly indicated. These territories and regions are subject to various additional categorisations, depending on the source and purpose of each description. In recent Australian and New Zealand censuses, large proportions of the population say they belong to "no religion" which includes atheism, agnosticism, deism, secular humanism. In Tonga, everyday life is heavily influenced by Polynesian traditions and especially by the Christian faith.

The Ahmadiyya mosque in Marshall Islands is the only mosque in Micronesia. The Baháʼí House of Worship in Tiapapata, Samoa, is one of seven designations administered in the Baháʼí Faith. Other religions in the region include Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism, which are prominent minority religions in Australia and New Zealand. Judaism, Sikhism and Jainism are also present. Sir Isaac Isaacs was the first Australian born Governor General of Australia and was the first Jewish vice-regal representative in the British Empire. Colonial languages include English in Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, and many other territories; French in New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Wallis and Futuna, and Vanuatu, Japanese in the Bonin Islands, Spanish on Galápagos Islands and Easter Island. Contact between Austronesian and Papuan resulted in several instances in mixed languages such as Maisin. Immigrants brought their own languages to the region, such as Mandarin, Hindi, Italian, Arabic, Portuguese, Polish, German, Spanish, Russian, Korean, Cantonese and Greek, among many others, namely in Australia and New Zealand, [] or Fiji Hindi in Fiji.

The most multicultural areas in Oceania, which have a high degree of immigration, are Australia, New Zealand and Hawaii. Since , more than 7 million people have settled in Australia. From the late s, there was a significant increase in immigration from Asian and other non-European countries, making Australia a multicultural country. Sydney is the most multicultural city in Oceania, having more than different languages spoken with about 40 percent of residents speaking a language other than English at home. European migration to New Zealand provided a major influx following the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in Subsequent immigration has been chiefly from the British Isles, but also from continental Europe, the Pacific, The Americas and Asia.

Hawaii is a majority-minority state. In , the first American missionaries arrived to preach Christianity and teach the Hawaiians Western ways. Many are descendants of immigrants brought to work on the sugarcane plantations in the mid-to-late 19th century. Almost 13, Portuguese immigrants had arrived by ; they also worked on the sugarcane plantations. Between and Australia's Pacific Solution policy transferred asylum seekers to several Pacific nations, including the Nauru detention centre. Australia, New Zealand and other nations took part in the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands between and after a request for aid. Archaeology, linguistics, and existing genetic studies indicate that Oceania was settled by two major waves of migration. The first migration of Australo-Melanesians took place approximately 40 to 80 thousand years ago, and these migrants, Papuans, colonised much of Near Oceania. Approximately 3. Mitochondrial DNA mtDNA studies quantify the magnitude of the Austronesian expansion and demonstrate the homogenising effect of this expansion.

With regards to Papuan influence, autochthonous haplogroups support the hypothesis of a long history in Near Oceania, with some lineages suggesting a time depth of 60 thousand years. Santa Cruz, a population located in Remote Oceania, is an anomaly with extreme frequencies of autochthonous haplogroups of Near Oceanian origin. Large areas of New Guinea are unexplored by scientists and anthropologists due to extensive forestation and mountainous terrain. Known indigenous tribes in Papua New Guinea have very little contact with local authorities aside from the authorities knowing who they are. Many remain preliterate and, at the national or international level, the names of tribes and information about them is extremely hard to obtain. The Indonesian provinces of Papua and West Papua on the island of New Guinea are home to an estimated 44 uncontacted tribal groups.

Australia and New Zealand are the only highly developed independent nations in the region, although the economy of Australia is by far the largest and most dominant economy in the region and one of the largest in the world. New Caledonia, Hawaii and French Polynesia are highly developed too but are not sovereign states. Australia's per-capita GDP is higher than that of the UK, Canada, Germany, and France in terms of purchasing power parity. The Australian Securities Exchange in Sydney is the largest stock exchange in Australia and in the South Pacific.

In , Australia was the 12th largest national economy by nominal GDP and the 19th-largest measured by PPP-adjusted GDP. Mercer Quality of Living Survey ranks Sydney tenth in the world in terms of quality of living, [] making it one of the most livable cities. The majority of people living in Australia and to a lesser extent, New Zealand work in mining, electrical and manufacturing sectors also. The overwhelming majority of people living in the Pacific islands work in the service industry which includes tourism, education and financial services. Oceania's largest export markets include Japan, China, the United States and South Korea. The smallest Pacific nations rely on trade with Australia, New Zealand and the United States for exporting goods and for accessing other products.

Australia and New Zealand's trading arrangements are known as Closer Economic Relations. Australia and New Zealand, along with other countries, are members of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation APEC and the East Asia Summit EAS , which may become trade blocs in the future particularly EAS. The main produce from the Pacific is copra or coconut, but timber, beef, palm oil, cocoa, sugar and ginger are also commonly grown across the tropics of the Pacific. Fishing provides a major industry for many of the smaller nations in the Pacific, although many fishing areas are exploited by other larger countries, namely Japan. Natural Resources, such as lead, zinc, nickel and gold, are mined in Australia and Solomon Islands.

Oceania's largest export markets include Japan, China, the United States, India, South Korea and the European Union. Endowed with forest, mineral, and fish resources, Fiji is one of the most developed of the Pacific island economies, though it remains a developing country with a large subsistence agriculture sector. Sugar exports and the growing tourist industry are the major sources of foreign exchange. Sugar cane processing makes up one-third of industrial activity. Coconuts, ginger, and copra are also significant. The history of Hawaii's economy can be traced through a succession of dominant industries; sandalwood, [] whaling, [] sugarcane, pineapple, the military, tourism and education.

These industries play a small role in the Hawaiian economy, due to the shipping distance to viable markets, such as the West Coast of the contiguous U. The state's food exports include coffee, macadamia nuts, pineapple, livestock, sugarcane and honey. Tourists mostly come from Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. Fiji currently attracts almost half a million tourists each year, more than a quarter of whom come from Australia. Vanuatu is widely recognised as one of the premier vacation destinations for scuba divers wishing to explore coral reefs of the South Pacific region. Tourism has been promoted, in part, by Vanuatu being the site of several reality-TV shows. The ninth season of the reality TV series Survivor was filmed on Vanuatu, entitled Survivor: Vanuatu — Islands of Fire.

Two years later, Australia's Celebrity Survivor was filmed at the same location used by the US version. Tourism in Australia is an important component of the Australian economy. Movie World, Dreamworld and Sea World , Walls of Jerusalem National Park and Mount Field National Park in Tasmania, Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne, the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, The Twelve Apostles in Victoria, Uluru Ayers Rock and the Australian outback. Tourism New Zealand, the country's official tourism agency, is actively promoting the country as a destination worldwide. In alone, according to state government data, there were over 6. Australia is a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy [] with Elizabeth II at its apex as the Queen of Australia, a role that is distinct from her position as monarch of the other Commonwealth realms. The Queen is represented in Australia by the Governor-General at the federal level and by the Governors at the state level, who by convention act on the advice of her ministers.

New Zealand is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary democracy, [] although its constitution is not codified. This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. October In Samoan politics, the Prime Minister of Samoa is the head of government. The constitution, which formally came into force with independence from New Zealand in , builds on the British pattern of parliamentary democracy, modified to take account of Samoan customs. The national government malo generally controls the legislative assembly. Fiji has a multiparty system with the Prime Minister of Fiji as head of government. The executive power is exercised by the government.

Legislative power is vested in both the government and the Parliament of Fiji. Fiji's Head of State is the President. He is elected by Parliament of Fiji after nomination by the Prime Minister or the Leader of the Opposition, for a three-year term. In the politics of Papua New Guinea the Prime Minister is the head of government, and the head of state is Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, represented by a Governor-General. In Kiribati, a Parliamentary regime, the President of Kiribati is the head of state and government, and of a multi-party system. New Caledonia remains an integral part of the French Republic.

Inhabitants of New Caledonia are French citizens and carry French passports. They take part in the legislative and presidential French elections. New Caledonia sends two representatives to the French National Assembly and two senators to the French Senate. Hawaii is dominated by the Democratic Party. As codified in the Constitution of Hawaii, there are three branches of government: executive, legislative and judicial. The governor is elected statewide. The lieutenant governor acts as the Secretary of State. The governor and lieutenant governor oversee twenty agencies and departments from offices in the State Capitol. Since , the primary influence behind Australian culture has been Anglo-Celtic Western culture, with some Indigenous influences.

Australia is also known for its cafe and coffee culture in urban centres. Most Indigenous Australian tribal groups subsisted on a simple hunter-gatherer diet of native fauna and flora, otherwise called bush tucker. The ʻIolani Palace in Honolulu, formerly the residence of the Hawaiian monarch, was restored and opened to the public as a museum in The music of Hawaii includes traditional and popular styles, ranging from native Hawaiian folk music to modern rock and hip hop. Hawaii's musical contributions to the music of the United States are out of proportion to the state's small size. Styles such as slack-key guitar are well known worldwide, while Hawaiian-tinged music is a frequent part of Hollywood soundtracks.

Hawaii also made a major contribution to country music with the introduction of the steel guitar. The cuisine of Hawaii is a fusion of many foods brought by immigrants to the Hawaiian Islands, including the earliest Polynesians and Native Hawaiian cuisine, and American, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Polynesian and Portuguese origins. New Zealand as a culture is a Western culture, which is influenced by the cultural input of the indigenous Māori and the various waves of multi-ethnic migration which followed the British colonisation of New Zealand. The Māori people constitute one of the major cultures of Polynesia.

The country has been broadened by globalisation and immigration specifically from Oceania, Europe, and Asia. The national cuisine has been described as Pacific Rim, incorporating the native Māori cuisine and diverse culinary traditions introduced by settlers and immigrants from Europe, Polynesia and Asia. The fa'a Samoa, or traditional Samoan way, remains a strong force in Samoan life and politics. Despite centuries of European influence, Samoa maintains its historical customs, social and political systems, and language. Cultural customs such as the Samoa 'ava ceremony are significant and solemn rituals at important occasions including the bestowal of matai chiefly titles. Items of great cultural value include the finely woven 'ie toga. The Samoan word for dance is siva , which consists of unique gentle movements of the body in time to music and which tell a story.

Samoan male dances can be more snappy. Another dance performed by males is called the fa'ataupati or the slap dance, creating rhythmic sounds by slapping different parts of the body. As with other Polynesian cultures Hawaiian, Tahitian and Māori with significant and unique tattoos, Samoans have two gender specific and culturally significant tattoos. The artistic creations of native Oceanians varies greatly throughout the cultures and regions. The subject matter typically carries themes of fertility or the supernatural. Petroglyphs, Tattooing, painting, wood carving, stone carving and textile work are other common art forms. Indigenous Australian rock art is the oldest and richest unbroken tradition of art in the world, dating as far back as 60, years and spread across hundreds of thousands of sites.

Some were used in magic, others to increase animal populations for hunting, while some were simply for amusement. Establishing a chronological timeframe for these pieces in most cases is difficult, but one has been dated to BC. By BC the Lapita culture, descendants of the second wave, would begin to expand and spread into the more remote islands. At around the same time, art began to appear in New Guinea, including the earliest examples of sculpture in Oceania. Starting around AD, the people of Easter Island would begin construction of nearly moai large stone statues. At about AD, the people of Pohnpei, a Micronesian island, would embark on another megalithic construction, building Nan Madol, a city of artificial islands and a system of canals.

Native Hawaiians had neither metal nor woven cloth. Rugby union is one of the region's most prominent sports, [] and is the national sport of New Zealand, Samoa, Fiji and Tonga. The most popular sport in Australia is cricket, the most popular sport among Australian women is netball, while Australian rules football is the most popular sport in terms of spectatorship and television ratings. Australian rules football is the national sport in Nauru [] and is the most popular football code in Australia in terms of attendance. Currently Vanuatu is the only country in Oceania to call association football its national sport. However, it is also the most popular sport in Kiribati, Solomon Islands and Tuvalu, and has a significant and growing popularity in Australia. In Australia joined the Asian Football Confederation and qualified for the , and World Cups as an Asian entrant.

Australia has hosted two Summer Olympics: Melbourne and Sydney Also, Australia has hosted five editions of the Commonwealth Games Sydney , Perth , Brisbane , Melbourne , Gold Coast Meanwhile, New Zealand has hosted the Commonwealth Games three times: Auckland , Christchurch and Auckland This carefully crafted text by one of the most traveled, knowledgeable and authoritative geography authors, H. deBlij provides a comprehensive understanding about the world with a long history of on authoritative content, outstanding cartography, currency, and comprehensive coverage, in a technology-rich package.

You could not have chosen a better time to study geography. The world is changing on many fronts and is doing so ever faster in response to the rapid advancement of communication technologies. The world truly is " shrinking," and the likelihood has never been greater that your professional career will be taking you to places far from home. Moreover, the United States is still the world's biggest economy, with political influence to match. Intentionally or not, the United States is affecting nations and peoples, lives and livelihoods, from pole to pole. That power confers on Americans a responsibility to learn as much as they can about those places, nations, and livelihoods, so that the decisions of their government representatives are well informed. But in this respect, the United States is no superpower. Geographic literacy is a measure of international comprehension and awareness, and Americans' geographic literacy ranks low.

That is a liability, for both the United States and the rest of the world, because such geographic fogginess afflicts not only voters but also the representatives they elect, from local school boards to the federal government" The seventh edition continues to bring readers geographic perspectives on a fast-changing world through the regional view.
