Similar Listings The Marshalls are comprised of 29 atolls and five major islands, which form two parallel groupsthe "Ratak" (sunrise) chain and the "Ralik"(sunset) chain. Two-thirds of the nation's population lives in Majuro and Ebeye. The outer islands are sparsely populated due to lack of employment opportunities and economic development. The Marshallese are of Micronesian origin, which is traced to a combination of peoples who emigrated from Southeast Asia in the remote past. The matrilineal Marshallese culture revolves around a complex system of clans and lineages tied to land ownership. Virtually all Marshallese are Christian, most of them Protestant. Other Christian denominations include Roman Catholic, Seventh-day Adventist, Mormon, Salvation Army, and Jehovah's Witness. A small Bahai community also exists.

Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor Releases Human Rights East Asia and the Pacific Marshall Islands Country Reports on Human Rights Practices Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor February 25, 2004 The Republic of the Marshall Islands is a self-governing nation under the Compact of Free Association with the United States. The Constitution provides for executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The legislature consists of a 33-member Parliament (Nitijela), as well as a Council of Chiefs (Iroij), which serves a largely consultative function dealing with custom and traditional practice. In November, the Nitijela was elected in free and fair elections from lists of independent and party candidates. The President is elected by majority Nitijela vote and appoints his Cabinet from its membership. In 2000, the Nitijela elected Kessai Note to a 4-year term as President. The Constitution provides for an independent judiciary; however, judges are appointed by the Cabinet, and past governments have attempted to influence the judiciary. Under the Compact of Free Association, the United States is responsible for the country's defense and national security, and the country has no external security force. The national police under the Ministry of Internal Affairs and local police forces have responsibility for internal security. The civilian authorities maintained effective control of the security forces. There were no reports that security forces committed human rights abuses.

99. Micronesia, 1900 A.D.-present | Timeline Of Art History | The Metropolitan Museu Of all the cultural regions of the Pacific, Micronesia is the most severely The marshall islands achieve independence as the Republic of the marshall http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/ht/11/oci/ht11oci.htm

Encompasses present-day Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of Belau, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Nauru, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands See also Australia Melanesia Polynesia , and Southeast Asia The twentieth century represents a tumultuous period of cultural, political, and artistic upheaval for the peoples of Micronesia. In 1900, Germany controls the vast majority of the region, including the Marshall, Caroline, and Northern Mariana Islands as well as Belau and Nauru. Britain holds a protectorate over Kiribati, which later becomes a formal colony, while the United States has political authority over Guam. The presence of larger numbers of Westerners and the continuing activities of Christian missionaries have an increasingly profound impact on many Micronesian cultural and artistic traditions Of all the cultural regions of the Pacific, Micronesia is the most severely impacted by World War II. Between 1941 and 1945, Allied and Japanese forces fight many of the major battles of the Pacific campaign on Micronesian islands. These include Tarawa in Kiribati, Chuuk (then known as Truk) in the Caroline Islands, Peleliu in Belau, and Saipan in the Mariana Islands. In 1945, the aircraft Enola Gay takes off from Tinian in the Marianas to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. After the Allied victory, control of Japan's Micronesian possessions is transferred to the United States, which administers them as a Trust Territory. In 1946, the U.S. begins the first in a series of nuclear weapons tests in the Marshall Islands when it detonates an atomic bomb on Bikini Atoll. The testing program ends in 1958.
