Kiribati - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (855 words)
Kiribati was inhabited by a single Micronesian ethnic group that spoke the same Oceanic language for 2,000 years before coming into contact with Europeans.
In 1943, the Battle of Tarawa was fought at Kiribati's capital Bairiki on Tarawa atoll.
Based on a 1995 realignment of the International Date Line, Kiribati is now the easternmost country in the world, and was the first country to enter into the year 2000 at Caroline Island, which, not coincidentally, has been renamed Millennium Island.
