History of American Samoa

The islands of Samoa were originally inhabited by humans as early as 1000 BC. After being invaded by European colonists in the 18th century, by the 20th and 21st century, the islands were incorporated into Samoa (Western Samoa, Independent Samoa) and American Samoa (Eastern Samoa). == Early history of the Polynesian people of Samoa == The pre-colonial history of Eastern Samoa (now American Samoa) is inextricably bound with the history of Western Samoa (now independent Samoa).
