History has proved that this place was inhabited at least 2600 years ago. The Vandal people occupied the islands in 526 AD and fell into the hands of Byzantium in 554.In 903, Muslims completely occupied the islands.King James I of Aragon occupied Mahoka and Ibiza between 1229 and 1235.In 1287, Mahoka Island was occupied by Alfonso III, a descendant of James.The Balearic Islands became a self-governing kingdom in 1298.It was incorporated into Aragon in 1349.In 1708, Britain occupied Mahon and ceded Menoka to Britain in the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713 until 1802.Balearic was established as a Spanish province in 1833.
In the late 19th century, the separatist movement was brewing in the islands, but it was not very popular.In 1931, autonomous regulations were proposed.However, it was not until 25 February 1983 that the institutional law was passed and finally came into force.Palma is the capital of the islands and the military, judicial and ecclesiastical center of the autonomous region.The autonomous government consists of Mahoka, Menoka, Ibiza Fomentra and other island people conferences.
Before the 19th century, due to the rampant pirates from North Africa, the coastal areas were sparsely populated.In the middle of the 19th century, due to the development of tourism, the population was concentrated in coastal areas, and the number of mainland residents was declining.From 1900 to 1970, the population began to grow moderately, reflecting the high immigration rate and low birth rate, but still higher than the national average growth rate.The population of Mahoka and Menoka is highly concentrated in large cities, while the population of Ibiza and Formera is relatively scattered.Since 1920, rural land has gradually become a small occupation, and large land occupation has declined sharply.
The migration of residents from the mainland has led to a large decline in rural labor force.Before 1830, traditional Mediterranean crops such as wheat, grapes and olives had always been dominant.With the improvement of transportation means, a variety of newcash cropFor example, almonds, peaches, apricots, carobs and tomatoes can be sold to further markets.Although the waterwheel and windmill introduced by Muslims can be used for irrigation, dry farming is still prevalent.From 1712 to 1736, Sir Richard Kane, governor of Menoka, introduced cattle and sheep from North Africa, and pigs from Sardinia. Now he is still raising animals.The island's manufacturing industry is small, and many factories have fewer than five workers.The products include shoes, furniture and textiles.There are exquisite lace and embroidery for tourists.Tourism, which dominates the economy, only provides seasonal jobs, and people are idle in winter.
Various cultural relics are left on the island.Although the prehistoric Tara culture (named after the large stone tower) has a long history on the island and is not disturbed too much, it is in the focus of the Mediterranean geographical location, so it cannot be immune from the influence of oriental civilization.Archaeological excavations have proved that the local unearthed cultural relics include bronze swords, single edged and double edged axes, tentacle swords, and various animals such as bull heads, all of which indicate that they have been affected by foreign influences for a long time.Most of the pottery is shaped by the local Tara culture, and seems to have been circulating for a long time before the Roman conquest, with few changes.
