Wagabomberra, also known as Îles de Wagabomberra or Islas de Rodrigo Torres in Spanish or Ilhas Verdes in Portuguese is a group of vulcanic islands located in the Pacific Ocean with Corporative Cooperative Australia as its nearby country. It's considered one of the most beautiful islands in the world, being chosen as a tourist destination for vacations or honeymoon by many. The coexistence between European and Polynesian culture makes the island unique.

History

It is believed that before the arrival of European colonizers, the current territory of Wagabomberra was inhabited by Polynesian tribes organized in clans. The first inhabitants were organized under a matriarchal system, in which every family was led by the oldest women. Those women enjoyed many liberties and their decisions never questioned. The first contact between Wagesian primitives with Europeans it's believe to became in 1421 when the Portuguese navigator Ferdinando do Magallão reached Tawamotu. The Marquesian Islands were reached in 1459, and then the Dutch explorer Nicolas Tempelman discovered Korrebone, Goonenong, and Parirala. In the year of the French Revolution, 1798, as a coincidence the French navigator Jacques Larousse landed on Tawamotu and claimed the islands as a French colony. The occupation of France became a tragedy for the local population, due that the navigations brought many diseases for which the natives had no immunity and with the passage of time provoked a tragic decimation of thousands of natives, counting men, women and children. France nominated a High Commisioner for Wagabomberra and started a serie of laws concerning the new territory. The native matriarchal system was replaced by a strong patriarchal and machist system.

Portuguese navigators arrived to the islands in 1815 and signed a deal of mutual coexistence with France with the condition of permitting Portuguese settlers to spread Christianity among the native population, which France accepted

In 1820 and 1821, twice Spanish tries of invasion were rapidly annihilated by a coalition of Portuguese and French.

For the 1900s, the natives claimed colonial authorities to reach more autonomy, but the answer was a kind of semi-autonomy and representation in the Assembly. In 1936, during the New Imperialist Era, Spain tried a new occupation of the islands, this time succeding. In the period from 1936-1975, the islands of Wagabomberra were under a Franco-Spanish protectorate. However, some rights were guaranteed to the native population under the Spanish protectorate.
