The Marshall Islands is a nation of atolls and islands in Micronesia situated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The population of the nation is approximately 62,000. The islands are located north of Nauru and Kiribati, east of the Federated States of Micronesia and south of the U.S. territory Wake Island. The Marshall Islands was under German then Japanese Control then the U.S. after the Second World War. In 1979 it was granted independence and signed a free alliance pact with the United States in 1986. The capital and largest city is Majuro.
The Marshall Islands were settled in the 2nd millennium BC by Micronesians who traveled by canoe between islands using the traditional stick charts.
The first European to see the islands was the Spanish explorer Alonso de Salazar in 1526 but was hardly visited until British Captain John Charles Marshall arrived in 1788. The islands were named after him on British maps but they were claimed under the Spanish sovereignty as part of the Spanish Oceania.
The international community recognized the Spanish sovereignty in 1874 but they were sold to Germany in 1884 with the assistance of papal mediation. A German trading settled on the island in 1885 and some years later they became part of the protectorate of German New Guinea.
During World War I, Japan seized the Marshall Islands from the Germans and in 1920 the League of Nations approved Japan to take over all of Germany’s territories in the Pacific. Local leaders were appointed from Japan to the islands which weakened the authority of traditional leaders. A thousand Japanese settled on the islands and Japanese taught the language and culture to the indigenous in the education system.
The United States in World War II invaded and occupied the islands in which they destroyed or isolated Japanese garrisons.
The U.S. added the archipelago to the U.S. Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. During the U.S. bombing campaign on the islands there was great suffering for lack of food and the various injuries suffered. In the atoll Mili half the Japanese garrison perished from hunger.
After the war from the years 1946 to 1958 the U.S. tested 67 nuclear weapons in the Marshall Islands, including the largest nuclear test in U.S. history, Castle Bravo. By 1956 the Atomic Energy Commission regarded the islands as "by far the most contaminated place in the world". Today the claims between the U.S. and the Marshall Islands are still ongoing, and health effects still linger as well.
The Marshall Islands was officially established in 1979 and the country became self-governing. In 1986 the U.S. granted the Republic of the Marshall Islands its sovereignty.
