Outline of Vanuatu

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Vanuatu:

Vanuatu – sovereign island nation located in the South Pacific Ocean. The Vanuatu Archipelago is some east of northern Australia, north-east of New Caledonia, west of Fiji, and south of the Solomon Islands. The archipelago is of volcanic origin. Vanuatu was first inhabited by Melanesian people. Europeans began to settle in the area in the late 18th century. In the 1880s France and the United Kingdom claimed parts of the country and in 1906 they agreed on a framework for jointly managing the archipelago through a British-French Condominium as the New Hebrides. An independence movement was established in the 1970s, and the Republic of Vanuatu was created in 1980.
