| | In 1574, Palau became part of the Spanish East Indies. In 1899, the islands became part of German New Guinea. After World War I, the Palau islands were made a part of the Japanese South Seas Mandate. In 1947, Palau was made a part of the United States Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. In 1994, Palau became independent under a Compact of Free Association with the United States.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palau Palau], (accessed 3 January 2021).</ref> |
