America never had control of Samoa. Unless your talking about American Samoa. In that case, American Samoa is still U.S territory.
it is called western Samoa because Samoa is divided into two parts, American Samoa and western Samoa. After colonialism came to Samoa, America took control of Eastern Samoa which adapted the name "American Samoa". While Germany (and later NZ) took control of Western Samoa, who then took on the name "Western Samoa". No called SAMOA. The nation dropped the "western" in 1997.
Russia does not and never has had control of Samoa.

American Samoa and the US Virgin Islands.
Samoa is a country in Australia & Oceania.
China never had ownership or sovereignty over Samoa. Under the Tripartite Convention of 1899, the control of the islands was split between the US and the German Empire. The eastern islands remain a territory of the US, known as American Samoa. The western islands became German Samoa until World War I, thereafter the New Zealand protectorate called Western Samoa, and finally independent Samoa in 1962.
It used to be one whole country. Samoa. Until world war I when the US occupied American Samoa for its naval base in Pago Pago, and Western Samoa was occupied by Germany, and then NZ. Now, Samoa (no longer called Western Samoa) is an independent country, whereas American Samoa is still a US territory (but is governed by Samoan representatives and a Samoan Governor). So now there is American Samoa and Samoa.
