Etymology
Fiji's main island is known as Viti Levu and it is from where the name derives Fiji because it sounds so common in English in the neighboring islands of Tonga and Vitis comes from the Latin meaning 'vine' .11History
Fiji's history begins when the first inhabitants arrived in Southeast Asia, long before they were discovered by European explorers in the seventeenth century. However, it was not until the nineteenth century that Europeans came to the islands to settle permanently. The islands came under British control as a colony in 1874. Independence was granted in 1970. Democratic rule was interrupted bytwo military coups in 1987, caused in response to excessive influence of the Indo-Fijian community about the government. This community, one of the largest in the country, descended from farmers arrived from India during the British Mandate.
