Brief Samoa History
Samoa is a group of islands in the South Pacific, halfway between Hawaii and New Zealand. It was a German protectorate until 1914. It was then occupied by New Zealand until 1962, when it became the first Polynesian nation to regain independence. There are two main islands.
In 1997, Western Samoa dropped the "Western" part of its name to become simply Samoa.
