Settled by people from Micronesia and Polynesia circa 1000 BCE, Nauru was annexed and claimed as a colony by the '''German Empire''' in the late 19th century. After World War I, Nauru became a League of Nations mandate administered by '''Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom'''. During World War II, Nauru was occupied by Japanese troops, and was bypassed by the Allied advance across the Pacific. After the war ended, the country entered into United Nations trusteeship. Nauru gained its independence in 1968.<ref>'''Nauru''', in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nauru, accessed 1 August 2021.</ref> | |||
