Despite the island's
relatively small size - over 200
square miles - Guam's strategic
location in the Western Pacific
has attracted the presence of
several nations in its past.
Guam and its Chamorro
inhabitants have been
administered for over 400 years
by Spain, Japan and America.
Ferdinand Magellan's landing on
Guam in 1521 began Spain's reign
which lasted until 1898, when
America claimed the island as
part of the prizes in the
Spanish-American War. When
Japanese invasion forces stormed
Guam in Dec 8, 1941, Guam became
the only populated territory in
the U.S. to endure foreign
occupation. On July 21, 1944,
America recaptured Guam and
reestablished the naval
government. By the end of the
1940's President Harry Truman
removed Guam from under the
jurisdiction of the Secretary of
the Navy to the Secretary of
Interior.
In 1950, the U.S. Congress
passed the Organic Act, giving
Guamanians American citizenship
and a civilian government. In
1962, President Kennedy lifted
the Naval Clearing Act which
opened Guam's ports to domestic
and foreign visitors. In 1975
more than 100,000 evacuees from
the fall of Vietnam were
repatriated via Guam. In 1996,
6,600 Kurdish refugees who
feared retaliation by Iraqi
leader Saddam Hussein were
housed on Guam.
The military presence in the
past contributed to the island's
economy as America's might is
projected beyond CONUS
{continental U.S.}. During the
1990's, the tourism industry
overshadowed the military as the
dominant economic juggernaut
fueling the economies in the
Marianas Islands of which Guam
is the largest and Southernmost
Island. |
