Answer:
Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands
Originally under German, then Japanese control, the TTPI came under the protection of the United Nations, administered by the United States, from 1947. Beginning in 1986 and ending in 1994, the US administration withdrew and the three independent nations of Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, and Palau, were 'born', along with the US administered Mariana Islands. The Mariana Islands are the northernmost group of islands in Micronesia.
