Germany

The islands were divided to settle international disputes over land.

The Samoan Islands had European visitors starting in the 17th century with the Dutch, British, Germans, and the US in the 1870s after creating a treaty for naval space. In 1899, there was a dispute in Samoa over leadership in which Germans and the US got involved. It ended with the dividing of the islands in 1899 with the eastern islands going to the US and the western islands going under the control of the US.

Answer 2

Answer:

In 1899, the United States divided control of the Samoa Islands with Germany.

Explanation:

In 1899, the Tripartite Convention resolved the long-standing Samoan crisis between the German Empire, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The agreement provided for the Samoa archipelago to be divided between Germany and the United States and for the United Kingdom to be rewarded with other Pacific islands. The western part of Samoa became a German colony (German Samoa), while the eastern part became a protectorate of the United States (American Samoa). The precursors of the tripartite convention of 1899 were: the Washington conference of 1887, the Berlin treaty of 1889 and the Anglo-German agreement of 1899.
