In 1898, the United States gained control over several territories in the Pacific as a result of the Spanish-American War. While the U.S. did not directly acquire Micronesia, it took control of Guam, which is part of the region. The broader control over Micronesia came later, particularly after World War I when Germany's territories were ceded to Japan, and then after World War II when the U.S. administered the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, which included parts of Micronesia. Thus, while the U.S. influence in Micronesia began in 1898, full control developed in the following decades.
