A small archipelago southwest of Indonesia, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands are an Australian external territory in Southeast Asia. The territory goes by two names: the Cocos Islands and the Keeling Islands, hence why Keeling is in parenthesis in the middle of the name. Of the 27 islands making up the territory, only West Island and Home Island are inhabited, with the former acting as the capital and the latter being the largest village. Most of the inhabitants of the territory are Cocos Malays, who practice Sunni Islam and speak their own dialect of Malay.
The Cocos name comes from the abundant coconut trees on the islands, while Keeling name comes from Captain William Keeling of the East India Company, who discovered the territory in 1609. The territory wasn't settled until the early 19th century, however, with the British annexing the islands in 1857. An important telegraph cable station was set up on Direction Island in 1901 which ceased operation in 1966, and a wireless station was also established to communicate with passing ships in 1910. One of the first naval battles of UsefulNotes/WorldWarI, the Battle of the Cocos, also took place here on the 9th of November, 1914, between the Australian HMAS Sydney and German SMS Emden cruisers (With the Emdem being the last active Central Powers warship in the Indian or Pacific Ocean), with the Sydney winning out. The territory was later transferred to Australia on the 23rd of November, 1955.
