Samoa Islands and Their Strategic Value to the United States
The seven American Samoa islands span about 60 square miles and hold strategic naval and air routes near the South Pacific. Tutuila hosts a major defense base with facilities including a parade ground, radio, hospital, power plant, and hotel. The Manua group, Rose Island, and Swain’s Island complete the chain, with Swain’s Island once termed an island without a country. Native population has grown under U S management, with copra farming and canned foods sustaining local life and trade.
