Guam

Guam is an organized unincorporated territory of the United States located in the Western Pacific Ocean. It is the largest and southernmost of the Mariana Islands, and its closest neighbors are the Northern Mariana Islands to the north, and Micronesia to the west. The island has a total land area of approximately 210 square miles (549 square kilometers), and its population is around 170,000 people.

Guam has a tropical climate with high temperatures and humidity throughout the year, and occasional typhoons. The island's economy is heavily dependent on tourism and the United States military presence, with several military bases located on the island. The main languages spoken on Guam are English and Chamorro, an indigenous language.

Guam has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back more than 4,000 years. The island was colonized by Spain in the 17th century and remained a Spanish colony until it was ceded to the United States in 1898 following the Spanish-American War. Guam was occupied by Japan during World War II, and it was recaptured by the United States in 1944. In 1950, Guam became an organized unincorporated territory of the United States.
