Western Samoa is the name American Samoans use to describe the independent nation Samoa. It consists of two Islands with the western one resembling a lob-sided kite, annd the eastern one looks a little like a sideways madagascar. The two islands are about the same size Western Samoa is NOT a term derived from American Samoans! Western Samoa was given this name in colonial times when this country was not governed independently, so that foreign countries could distinguish between this part of Samoa and the eastern part (later named American Samoa) In the mid 90's however, the Samoan government changed the name by erasing the "western" part leaving Samoa. Samoa is now governed independently. Follow this link for more information on the geography of Samoa. http://www.classbrain.com/art_cr/publish/samoa_geography.shtml
