ABOUT THE CAROLINE ISLANDS:
THE CAROLINE ISLANDS ARE A LARGE ARCHIPELAGO OF SMALL ISLANDS
FORMING A CHAIN OF MANY SMALL ISLANDS IN THE WESTERN PACIFIC
OCEAN, NORTHEAST OF NEW GUINEA. THEY ARE PRESENTLY DIVIDED
BETWEEN THE FEDERATED STATES OF MICRONESIA IN THE EASTERN PART
OF THE CHAIN, AND PALAU IN THE WESTERN END.
MOST OF THE ISLANDS ARE LOW, FLAT CORAL REEFS, BUT SOME ARE
MOUNTAINOUS.  THE FIRST EUROPEAN VISIT TO THE ISLANDS WAS BY THE
SPANISH IN 1543, AND ORIGINALLY NAMED AFTER
CHARLES V, HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR.
THE SPANISH DID NOT OCCUPY ANY ISLAND FORMALLY UNTIL 1886 ,
AND THEN AFTER THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR , IN 1899, THEY SOLD
THE ISLANDS TO GERMANY. JAPAN  OCCUPIED THE ISLANDS IN 1914
AND RECEIVED A MANDATE OVER THEM IN 1920, BUT AFTER WORLD WAR
II, THE ISLANDS BECAME TRUST TERRITORIES OF THE UNITED STATES,
EVENTUALLY BECOMING INDEPENDENT.
