Military and government topics together dominate, reflecting the islands' role in the Pacific War and a US trusteeship that ended under UN Security Council Resolution 683 in December 1990. The strongest ties run to the United States and Japan, the two powers most directly involved in that history. The islands also maintain a territorial claim to Wake Island, which the Marshallese call Ānen Kio, a claim the United States does not recognize.
