The Tripartite Convention 1899 (Britain, Germany, U.S.A.)
allocated Tonga and Niue to Britain,
while Samoa was partitioned by Germany
(Western Samoa) and the U.S.A. (American Samoa). The U.S.A. received the smaller, but strategically more
important part, as American Samoa contained the port of Tutuila. Self-government formally was introduced in 1967. American Samoa continues to be U.S. territory. Timeline : American Samoa Historical Atlas, Samoa Page Student Papers : Lee, Yeonhwa, Samoa 1899 as portrayed in "Punch" |
