The United States acquired the Northern Mariana Islands after World War II. In 1947, the islands became a Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands under U.S. administration, as designated by the United Nations. The Northern Mariana Islands later entered into a political relationship with the U.S. and became a Commonwealth in 1976, allowing for self-governance while maintaining U.S. sovereignty. The formal agreement was finalized in the Covenant to Establish a Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in Political Union with the United States, which was approved in 1976.
