Koror

Palau

Koror, Palau shares 38 connections with 1776 other places across 10 topics, with nature as the dominant thread and military and government close behind. Japan and the Philippines feature among the most-shared co-connected places, reflecting a layered colonial history: Koror was occupied by Japanese forces and by 1919 had become the capital of the South Seas Mandate, while the first recorded European sighting of the island dates to the 1543 Spanish expedition of Ruy López de Villalobos.
