Tuvalu was first sighted by Europeans in the 16th century, with the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman being one of the earliest to record its existence in 1643. However, the islands were not formally documented until later in the 19th century when British and American whalers and traders visited the region. The islands were subsequently claimed by the British in the late 19th century, leading to their eventual designation as a British protectorate.
