The history of Vasha encompasses the history of Vasha, the Vashan people, and history ranging from early years of the nation to the modern history of Vasha. Following the last ice age in 12,000 BC, human settlement of the continent remained sparse, as the Polynesians had resigned themselves to remain on the smaller islands around Vasha itself. Little if any evidence pointing to human habitation of Vasha exist, and the first true settlement of the landmass has been confirmed to have begun in 1371.
