Extractions: THE US VIRGIN ISLANDS encompass the individual isles of St. Thomas, St. John, St. Croix and Water Island. The largest island is St. Croix (28 miles long and 7 miles wide). St. Thomas is 40 miles to the north of St. Croix. It is 13 miles long and 3 miles wide. St. John is 9 miles long and 5 miles wide. Two-thirds of St. John is a national park donated to the government in 1956 by philanthropist Laurance S. Rockefeller. Water Island sits just off the southwest coast of St. Thomas and is almost exclusively a residential community. HISTORY: It was 1493 during Christopher Columbus' second voyage to the New World when these islands first became known to the European community. Over the centuries that followed, Spain, France, England, The Netherlands, Denmark took turns controlling the region. The United States purchased the islands from Denmark for $25 million in 1917. At that time, the US government was concerned this area might become a German submarine base if Denmark fell to the Germans during World War I. Since that time, the islands have remained a US territory.

His plantation in the town of Lares became the headquarters for like-minded revolutionaries who would push for a split from Spain. The Spanish provincial government in Puerto Rico established the Liberal Reform Party and the Liberal Conservative Party as the first true political organizations. The Liberal Conservatives opposed any movement for reform while debate raged among the Liberal Reformers between those who sought to be as much like Spain as possible and those who sought autonomy from the mother country. 22 March

U.S. foreign policy is influenced by Alfred T. Mahan who wrote The Influence of Sea Power upon history, 1600-1783 , which advocated the taking of the Caribbean Islands, Hawaii, and the Philippine Islands for bases to protect U.S. commerce, the building of a canal to enable fleet movement from ocean to ocean and the building of the Great White fleet of steam-driven armor plated battleships. 5 January formed the Katipunan , a secret, nationalistic fraternal brotherhood founded to bring about Filipino independence through armed revolution, at Manila. Bonifacio, an illiterate warehouse worker, believed that the Liga was ineffective and too slow in bringing about the desired changes in government, and decided that only through force could the Philippines problem be resolved. The Katipunan replaced the peaceful civic association that Rizal had founded.

Extractions: General The Library applies subject classification primarily to materials treated as monographs. Serial publications are separated by form and are assigned classification numbers within several broad categories. The classification practices outlined below are current conventions. They are provided as explanation, stating NLM's general classification approach using the National Library of Medicine's and the Library of Congress's schedules, rather than 'how to classify' instructions. Basic Rules The classification number assigned to a work is determined by the main focus or subject content of the work. A work dealing with several subjects that fall into different areas of the classification is classed by emphasis, or if emphasis is lacking, by the first subject treated in the work. A work on a particular disease is classified with the disease, which in turn is classified with the organ or region chiefly affected, regardless of special emphasis on form of therapy or diagnostic procedure used.

Extractions: U.S. Virgin Islands - December 20, 1998 Last weekend's Caribbean Hotel Association (CHA) Marketplace ¡99 provided the Turnbull Administration with an opportunity to meet the territory's key travel partners and members of the national travel media. An audience of about 100 members of the national travel media and tourism industry and dozens of representatives from the USVI's hotel community were in attendance at the territory's tourism press conference and VIP reception held in San Juan, Puerto Rico, January 16. Gov. Charles W. Turnbull and his Acting Commissioner of Tourism Clement "Cain" Magras were on hand to personally meet with the USVI's most influential travel partners and prospective travel partners worldwide. The highlight of the weekend's many activities was the VIP reception and destination press conference that the public and private sectors of the U.S. Virgin Islands' travel industry jointly hosted. The territory's two hotel associations worked together with the USVI Department of Tourism to help make the event an extraordinary success. Certainly the most well-received part of the evening was the speech made by Gov. Turnbull who was interrupted several times during his remarks with loud bursts of energetic applause.

By this time they, along with the Dutch, French and Danes, had managed to break Spanish domination of the Caribbean islands, which had been established from the late 15th century. Britain's conquests in the West Indies had begun with Bermuda, in 1609, and included Barbados in 1625. In the conquest of the West Indies, the indigenous peoples, such as the Arawaks and Caribs, were almost entirely destroyed.

However, the West Indies was the main destination for Africans enslaved by the British. This chapter therefore concentrates on the Caribbean islands. Map of Antigua, c.1739 (155KB)
