When did it gain Independence
The Gilbert Islands gained independence from the United Kingdom on July 12, 1979, and were renamed Kiribati.
What ways did it achieve independence: arm-resustance, negotiations, external pressure or colonial power wish to leave
Kiribati achieved independence through negotiations rather than armed resistance. The colonial power, the United Kingdom, conducted discussions with leaders from the Gilbert Islands, resulting in the country gaining independence peacefully on July 12, 1979. External pressure may have played a role in these negotiations, but ultimately, it was a decision made through diplomatic channels rather than open confrontation.
