History The initial Western contact with Guam occurred in 1521, Ferdinand Magellan reached the southernmost Mariana Islands during his circumnavigation of the globe. General Miguel Legaspi claimed Guam and the other Mariana Islands for Spain in 1565. Spanish colonization commenced in 1668. The Chamorro population then was estimated at 50,000 throughout the Mariana Archipelago. However, introduced diseases and the Spanish-Chamorro wars decimated the Chamorro race, reducing the number of inhabitants to fewer than 2,000 by 1700. Guam served as a way station for the Spanish Acapulco-to-Manila galleons from 1668 to 1815. The Spanish regime ended in 1898 when American forces took Guam during the Spanish-American War. The Treaty of 1898 , Article II, negotiated under President McKinley, transferred control of Guam to the United States. Spain later sold the rest of the Mariana Islands, including Saipan, Tinian and Rota, to Germany. From 1899 to 1941, Guam was under U.S. Naval Administration. At the outbreak of World War II, the Japanese seized Guam and occupied the island for two and a half years. American forces recaptured Guam in July 1944, and the U.S. Naval Administration resumed responsibility when peace returned.
