A series of volcanic West African islands in the South Atlantic Ocean, Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha, also known as just Saint Helena, are a [[UsefulNotes/UnitedKingdom British]] Overseas Territory, the only one in Africa.

The islands were separately discovered by several Portuguese [[BoldExplorer explorers]] between 1502 and 1504, and Saint Helena became crucially important for the collection of food and as a rendezvous point for homebound voyages from Asia for the Portuguese. The English East India Company arrived in Saint Helena in 1658, and colonized and fortified the territory in 1660 after receiving a Royal Charter giving it the sole right to fortify and colonize the island. Ascension and Tristan da Cunha were later garrisoned by the British in 1815 and 1816 respectively, and Saint Helena was made a British crown colony in 1834, with Ascension Island becoming a dependency of Saint Helena in 1922 and Tristan da Cunha following suit in 1938.
