The Marshall Islands

Micronesian colonists gradually settled the Marshall Islands during the 2nd millennium BC.

Islands in the archipelago were first explored by Europeans in the 1520s, with Spanish explorer

Alonso de Salazar sighting an atoll in August 1526. Other expeditions by Spanish and English

ships followed. The islands derive their name from British explorer John Marshall, who visited

in 1788.

The European powers recognized the islands as part of the Spanish East Indies in 1874.

However, Spain sold the islands to the German Empire in 1884, and they became part of German

New Guinea in 1885. In World War I the Empire of Japan occupied the Marshall Islands, which

in 1919 the League of Nations combined with other former German territories to form the South

Pacific Mandate. In World War II, the United States conquered the islands in the Gilbert and

Marshall Islands campaign. Along with other Pacific Islands, the Marshall Islands were then

consolidated into the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands governed by the US.

Immediately after World War II, the United States created a Joint Task Force to develop a

nuclear weapons testing program. During the period between 1945 and 1958, a total of 67

nuclear tests were conducted on Bikini and Enewetak Atolls and adjacent regions within the

Republic of the Marshall Islands. The most significant contaminating event was the Castle Bravo

test conducted on March 1, 1954. Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (U.S. DOE) through the

Office of Health Studies continues to provide environmental monitoring, healthcare, and medical

services on the affected atolls.

Self-government was achieved in 1979, and full sovereignty in 1986, under a Compact of Free

Association with the United States. Marshall Islands has been a United Nations member state

since 1991. Politically, the Marshall Islands is a presidential republic in free association with the

United States, with the US providing defense, subsidies, and access to U.S. based agencies such

as the FCC and the USPS. With few natural resources, the islands' wealth is based on a service

economy, as well as some fishing and agriculture; aid from the United States represents a large

percentage of the islands' gross domestic product. The country uses the United States dollar as its

currency.
