In the early 18th century French explorers tried to take over the islands. In the 1889 Germany invaded Samoa and (in the process) destroyed American property. The U.S then sent 3 warships to battle Germany but were met by a cyclone which wiped out most battleships on both sides. Because of this, the 2 countries came to an agreement and in 1899 the Samoan islands were divided between the U.S who took American Samoa (then known as Eastern Samoa) and Germany who took Samoa (then known as Western Samoa). The U.S expanded Pago Pago into a full naval station and secured a Deed of Cessation of Tutuila in 1900. To this day, American Samoa is known as an unincorporated territory of America, and now have their own Governor and First Lady (this came into effect in 1967). "SAMOA" on the other hand has never been acquired by the U.S and has been an "independent" nation since 1962. Independent, in that the country has its own government, Head of State and currency (American Samoa uses US dollars).

a colonial division of the islands between Germany and the United States

I truly believe Samoans, Maoris, Tongans, Cook Islanders, etc, etc, are all descended from the same people who journeyed across the Pacific Ocean in their wakas (canoes) from Havaiki thousands of years ago.

The National Bird of the US and its territories is the Bald Eagle Haliaetus leucocephalus.

Samoans do not typically have afros in the way that is commonly associated with African hairstyles. The hair texture among Samoans can vary, but it tends to be straight or wavy rather than tightly coiled. However, some individuals may style their hair in ways that resemble an afro, particularly if they have mixed heritage. Ultimately, hair styles among Samoans can be diverse and influenced by cultural practices and personal preferences.

One cultural aspect of the Samoans is tattoos. They had many large tattoos on their bodies, but not on their faces. Whole arms and legs tatood is very common. Another their dances. One example of one of their dances is the Samoan slap dance.

The name James can be translated more than 1 way in Samoan. In Bible translations, the Book of James is translated as Iakopo, or Jacob, since there is no "Official" equivalent name for the name James. Jim or Jimmy, both nicknames for James, are translated as Simi or Semi, sometimes Semisi which is more commonly used in Tonga. Some say that by using common translation models in the language, Iamesa could be a translation for James, this is however not an accepted practice.

The 2 similarities I see is that all are island and they all US territories.

Do you mean Samoa or American Samoa? If you mean Samoa, then the distance is 889kms or 552miles. If you mean American Samoa, then the distance is 937.8kms or 582.7miles.

Samoa offered a strategical point of operations for the US navy in the first half of the 2oth century. By politically annexing eastern Samoa as a US territory (now called American Samoa) it has allowed the US to operate it's most southern base south of the equator in the pacific. A coaling station was initially built here to allow their coal fired warships of the time to increase its operational range in the South Pacific! With the advent of nuclear power & bunker oil the coal station is redundant. Tutuila's harbour is a natural deep water port capable of holding US 120K + ton super carriers. Samoa's location is on the tip of the Tonga trench and this may be an advantage to slip boomers n hunter killer subs into the South Pacific

American Samoa also allows the US tuna fleets to operate in their 200 mile fishing zone providing a commercial benefit?

The Samoa islands (Western) are now seeing increased political influence from the likes of China in foreign aid which may lead to an agreement for the use of it's ports to their navy leaving American Samoa and Hawaii at risk?

This may become a potential powder keg with USA in the east and PRC in the west of the island group? Sounds pretty far fetched but this same scenario played out in the first quarter of the 20th century in Apia harbour between the German, US and British navies, fortunately nature intervened in the form of a hurricane where loss of ships and life on all three navies!

Dont cry... The other part is not appropriate.
