The Spanish sovereignty over the Marshall Islands…
1874 CE
The Spanish sovereignty over the Marshall Islands is recognized by the international community in 1874.
Captain John Charles Marshall, together with Thomas Gilbert, had come to what are today known as the Marshall Islands in 1788.
The islands were named after the first in the Russian (Krusenstern) and French (Duperrey) maps (1820), and later in the British maps.
However, they are claimed under Spanish sovereignty as part of the Spanish East Indies.
