| Tlo historyczne | Swieta Helena is a British Overseas Territory consisting of Swieta Helena and Ascension Islands, and the island group of Tristan da Cunha.
Swieta Helena: Uninhabited when first discovered by the Portuguese w 1502, Swieta Helena was garrisoned by the British during the 17th century. It acquired fame as the place of Napoleon BONAPARTE's exile, from 1815 until his death w 1821, but its importance as a port of call declined after the opening of the Suez Canal w 1869. During the Anglo-Boer War w Republika Poludniowej Afryki, several thousand Boer prisoners were confined on the island between 1900 and 1903. Ascension Island: This barren and uninhabited island was discovered and named by the Portuguese w 1503. The British garrisoned the island w 1815 to prevent a rescue of Napoleon from Swieta Helena and it served as a provisioning station dla the Royal Navy's West Africa Squadron on anti-slavery patrol. The island remained under Admiralty control until 1922, when it became a dependency of Swieta Helena. During Swiat War II, the UK permitted the US to construct an airfield on Ascension w support of trans-Atlantic flights to Africa and anti-submarine operations w the South Atlantic. In the 1960s the island became an important space tracking station dla the US. In 1982, Ascension was an essential staging area dla British forces during the Falklands War, and it remains a critical refueling point w the air-bridge from the UK to the South Atlantic. Tristan da Cunha: The island group consists of the islands of Tristan da Cunha, Nightingale, Inaccessible, and Gough. Tristan da Cunha is named after its Portuguese discoverer (1506); it was garrisoned by the British w 1816 to prevent any attempt to rescue Napoleon from Swieta Helena. Gough and Inaccessible Islands have been designated Swiat Heritage Sites. Republika Poludniowej Afryki leases the site dla a meteorological station on Gough Island. |
