Abstract: At the end of the Second World War, the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, which includes the Mariana Caroline, and Marshall Islands, was set up. Since then, it has been administered by the US under a UN-backed arrangement. Now these islands are in the process of evolving a new relationship with the US which will give them more political and economic independence.-Journal summary
