Samoa, officially the Independent State of Samoa, is a country comprising a group of islands in the South Pacific Ocean. Previous names were German Samoa from 1900 to 1919, and Western Samoa from 1914 to 1997. It was recognized by
the United Nations on 15 December 1976 (UN members) as Samoa. The entire
group was known as Navigators Islands before the 20th century because of
the Samoans' seafaring skills. |
