Brief History
-
Archeological evidence shows that the islands of Malta were inhabited
already in 5200 B.C.
When their Empire fell, Malta came under
influence of Carthage. During the First Punic War of 218 BC, tensions
led the Maltese people to rebel against Carthage and turn control of
their garrison over to the Romans.
Great Britain formally acquired possession of Malta in 1814. The
island staunchly supported the UK through both world wars and remained
in the Commonwealth when it became independent in 1964. A decade later
Malta became a republic.
Malta became an EU member in May
2004 and began using the euro as currency in 2008.
