The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and al

27、cohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.Nauru's real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate (磷酸盐) on the island.
