During World War II the Caroline Islands, Marshall Islands and Northern Marianas were occupied by the US armed forces. In 1947 the United States was granted administrative responsibility for these islands under the terms of a United Nations Trusteeship. The US continued to administer these territories until 1982 when, under Compacts of Free Association, the Federated States of Micronesia (formerly the Caroline Islands, ie: Ponape, Yap, Truk and Palau) and the Republic of the Marshall Islands were formed.
