No, Samoa is not a part of the US, it is an independent country.
Well depends on which one, it's separated. There's Western Samoa and then there's American Samoa. Western Samoa likes to call themselves Samoa. Kinda confusing.
Apart from the word Samoa, those are not Samoan words.
American Samoa is a Trust Territory of the US, not Samoa, which was formerly Western Samoa.
Can you make sense? Samoa's a country, and the US got American Samoa from the country of [Actual] Samoa, maybe?Eastern Samoa and Western Samoa (as they were referred to in colonial times) were all one country to begin with. During the 1st world war, America occupied American Samoa and Germany occupied Western Samoa. So I suppose you're right 187baby, the US got (part) of Samoa from Samoa.
No. Samoa is not a territory of the U.S. Only American Samoa is.
Yes, us Samoans consider our country developed. I suppose it all depends on how the world relates to us, and us to the world.
Western Samoa was the colonial name for Samoa, which is an independent country separate from the US territory of American Samoa. The population of Samoa in early 2012 was estimated at 183,000.
Samoa has the "Samoa Social Welfare Fesoasoani Trust" to aid former offenders. American Samoa also offers Food Stamps under US Federal Guidelines, like on the US Mainland.

American Samoa was found before it became a US territory. It was simply the 'eastern' islands of Samoa. Samoa was first discovered in 1722 by a Dutch explorer named Jacob Roggeveen.
April 17,1900 the American Samoa became a territory.
Because American Samoa is not a US state. American Samoa is a US territory and as such, it can participate like a separate country. Furthermore, do note that American Samoan's are defined as US nationals and note US citizens. Think of American Samoa as boarder-line between being a US state and an independent country. It is defined as an "unorganized" US Territory.
There is Samoa, an independent nation. Or there is American Samoa, owned by the US. However, the independent nation of Samoa used to be a territory of New Zealand.
