History of the Marshalls
The Marshall Islands, believed to be settled by humans 3,000 to 5,000 years ago, saw their first European contact in the 16th century, leading to devastating consequences for the native population due to introduced diseases. Despite multiple attempts by explorers to engage with the islands, hostile interactions were common, culminating in the islands being sold to Germany in 1885 without the consent of the local inhabitants. Following World War I, the islands transitioned through various powers, ultimately becoming a U.S. administered territory after World War II.In this clip
