> Before World War II, Guam and three other territories - American Samoa,
> Hawaii, and the Philippines - were the only American jurisdictions in
> the Pacific Ocean. On December 7, 1941, hours after the attack on Pearl
> Harbor, Guam was captured by the Japanese, and was occupied for thirty
> months. During the occupation, Guamanians were subjected to forced
> labor, beheadings, rape, and torture.[6][7][8] Guam endured hostilities
> when American forces recaptured the island on July 21, 1944; Liberation
> Day commemorates the victory.[9] Since the 1960s, the economy is
> supported by two industries: tourism and the United States Armed
> Forces.[10]

> 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.
