*'''European explorers—first the Portuguese in search of the Spice Islands (Indonesia) and then the Spanish—reached the Carolines in the sixteenth century'''. *The Treaty of Tordesillas gave these lands to Spain and the Spanish incorporated the archipelago to the '''Spanish East Indies''' through the capital, Manila, and in the 19th century '''established a number of outposts and missions'''. | |||
*Following defeat in the Spanish–American War, '''the Spanish sold the archipelago to Germany in 1899.''' Germany incorporated it into '''German New Guinea.''' | |||
*During World War I, it was captured by Japan. Following the war, the League of Nations awarded a mandate for Japan to administer the islands as part of the South Seas Mandate. | |||
*Following World War II, it was administered by the '''United States''' under United Nations auspices in 1947 as part of the '''Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands'''. | |||
*On May 10, 1979, four of the Trust Territory districts ratified a new constitution to become the '''Federated States of Micronesia'''. '''Palau, the Marshall Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands chose not to participate'''. The FSM signed a Compact of Free Association with the United States, which entered into force on November 3, 1986, marking Micronesia's emergence from trusteeship to independence. Independence was formally concluded under international law in 1990, when the United Nations officially ended the Trusteeship. <ref>"Federated States of Micronesia", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federated_States_of_Micronesia, accessed 9 August 2021.</ref> | |||
