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.
