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 Although the Spanish colonize Guam and the other Mariana Islands in the 1500s and briefly visit other Micronesian islands, it is not until the nineteenth century that the more remote archipelagos of Micronesia are completely explored. As is the case in Polynesia, the islands of Micronesia are eventually charted through the combined efforts of official exploring expeditions and the chance discoveries of whalers and other commercial vessels. Along with steel tools and other aspects of Western technology, European and American sailors introduce diseases such as smallpox, which decimate the populations of many Micronesian islands. During the 1850s and 1860s, European traders establish outposts on a number of Micronesian islands, including Yap, Kiribati, and the Marshall Islands, and the first Christian missionaries begin to arrive. In one case, an American sailor, David O'Keefe, who is shipwrecked on Yap in the Caroline Islands in 1871, plays a significant role in perpetuating one Micronesian artistic tradition . Over the next thirty years, in exchange for copra (dried coconut meat), a valuable trade commodity, O'Keefe uses a Chinese junk to assist the Yapese in transporting their enormous stone money disks, which they quarry in the neighboring archipelago of Belau. The largest examples of Yapese stone money, some up to 4 meters across, are brought to the island during the "O'Keefe" period.

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.
