Abstract

Tahiti is the largest island of French Polynesia, a French overseas territory in the South Pacific Ocean. The island was discovered in 1606 by Spanish sailor and explorer Pedro Fernandez de Quiros. The Crown of Spain took possession of the island in 1772 to control the spread of other powers and evangelize. The Spanish presence was maintained until 1776.
