Marshall Islands

National Anthem: Marshall Islands Forever

The Marshall Islands (Marshall Islands), commonly known as the Marshall Islands, is an island nation that floats on the Pacific Ocean. It is one of the mini-states and covers the entire Marshall Islands, which is also called "pearl necklace". Located east of Federated States of Micronesia and north of Kiribati.
The name Marshall comes from the name of John Marshall, who surveyed the waters around this area. In 1788, the British East India Company ordered the Scarborough (Captain: Marshall) and Charlotte (Captain: Thomas Gilbert), who had called at New South Wales, Australia, to travel to Canton for the transport of tea. At the same time, he requested a survey of the sea area around the route. At this time, both ships investigated the present Marshall Islands and the Gilbert Islands located to the south of the present.
