European colonialism began in 1668 with the arrival of Spanish settlers. The United States took over Guam during the Spanish American War in 1898. Guam is the largest island in Micronesia and the only American-held island in the region before World War II, Guam was occupied by the Japanese in December 1941, and was subject to fierce fighting when American troops recaptured the island in July 1944.
