	Spratly Islands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The islands contain no arable land and have no indigenous inhabitants, although twenty of the islands, including Itu Aba, the largest, are considered to be able to sustain human life.
		During the Qing Dynasty of China, the islands were sporadically visited throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by mariners from different European powers (including either Richard or William Spratly, after whom the island group derives its most recognisable English name), but these nations showed little interest in the islands.
		While the Philippine claim to the Spratly Islands was first expressed in the United Nations General Assembly in 1946, Philippine involvement in the Spratlys did not begin in earnest until 1956, when on 15 May Philippine citizen Tomas Cloma proclaimed the founding of a new state, Kalayaan (Freedom Land).

		Vietnam, (1) : Paracel Islands; Bangkok 1972.The De Lanessan survey mission also proved the existence of a continental shelf which reaches out in platforms from the Vietnamese coast into the sea: the Paracels rest on one of these platforms, and thus are joined to the coast of Vietnam by a submarine plinth.
		Chinese claims to the Paracels and Spratlys were thus overwhelmingly disregarded.At a later date, the government of the Republic of China restated its claims based on the separate peace treaty between it and Japan (April 28, 1952).
