The Straits Settlements were a group of British territories located in maritime Southeast Asia, then known as the Far East. Headquartered in Singapore for more than a century, it was originally established in 1826 as part of the territories controlled by the British East India Company. The Straits Settlements came under British Raj control in 1858 before being split under direct British control as a crown colony on 1 April 1867. In 1946, following the end of the Second World War and the occupation by Japan, the colony was dissolved as part of the Britain's reorganization of its dependencies in the area. The Straits Settlements originally consisted of the four individual settlements of Penang, Malacca, Dinding and most importantly Singapore—its capital and was nicknamed the "Gibraltar of the East." The latter, having been the most developed settlement including its port, was a major British asset in the area and was the key strategy to British imperial interwar defense planning.
