What is the historical basis of the claims made by each party in the South China Sea dispute?

In order to lower the influence of bias, instead of a who's right who's wrong thread, I want you to pretend you are the claimant and give to me a rundown of the common points given by your side as to why it belongs to you.

Are you asking about how today's claimants use "history" to justify their claims? You may be running into the 20 year rule.
