Discusses the clash between European and native cultures. Nauru was first sighted by Captain John Fearn of the 'Hunter' on a voyage from NZ to the China Seas in 1798. British mandate after the First world war. Development of the phosphate industry. Changes in the native economy. Population. Second World War
The environmental issue of greatest concern to the people of Nauru is the degradation of the mined phosphate lands. In all of the series of consultations that were carried out between the people of Nauru and the various teams of technical experts to ascertain the feasibility of rehabilitating the island, it was constantly emphasised that the total degradation of topside, including localized inland, water shortages and coastal erosions are problems that need to be addressed for sustainable development.
Japanese occupation. In August 1942, Nauru became one of the many island strongholds in the Empire's defensive chain protecting its Pacific conquests. Expecting an Allied attack any day, the Japanese strongly reinforced the little atoll, building numerous pillboxes and gun emplacements. The garrison also included four Type 95 light tanks - all of which were found parked under canvas next to one of the burnt-out oil tanks by the Australians when they occupied the island in 1945.
