The United States acquired Wake Island in 1899 through the annexation of unclaimed territory under the Guano Islands Act, which allowed the U.S. to claim uninhabited islands containing guano deposits. The island was strategically important, and its status was solidified when the U.S. established a naval base there in the 1930s.
