Can you provide some insight to the Etymology of Kiribati? 
 Kiribati is a country in the Pacific Ocean. 
 Hmm. Can you tell me more about Etymology? 
 The native people of Kiribati are called I-Kiribati. 
 Interesting. Tell me another fact. 
 The country of Kiribati has 33 atolls , groups of tiny islands. 
 Do you have any information about the history of Kiribati? 
 Further military operations in the colony occured in the late 1950's and early 1960's when Christmas Island was used by the U.S and U.K for nuclear weapons testing including hydrogen bombs. 
 Oh, wow. Do you have any more information on that or other interesting history? 
 Banaba , known to Europeans as Ocean Island was added to the protectorate in 1900. 
 Anything in history sooner than that? 
 Kiribati signed a "Treaty of Friendship and Territorial Sovereignty" aka "Treaty of Tarawa" with the U.S in 1979 
 Thank you for answering my questions. Have a good day. 
 You Too :)
