In 1574, Palau became part of the Spanish East Indies. In 1899, the islands were sold to Germany and became part of German New Guinea. After World War I, the Palau islands were made a part of the Japanese-ruled South Seas Mandate. During World War II, skirmishes, including the major Battle of Peleliu, were fought between American and Japanese troops as part of the Mariana and Palau Islands campaign. Along with other Pacific Islands, Palau was made a part of the United States-governed Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands in 1947. Having voted in a referendum against joining the Federated States of Micronesia in 1978,[11][12] the islands gained full sovereignty in 1994 under a Compact of Free Association with the United States.
