Over centuries of European and Asian presence in the region, Micronesians came into contact with whalers, traders, missionaries, colonists, and the military. Micronesia was a major arena during World War II and an important site of postwar nuclear weapons testing. Today, the region has achieved a measure of political independence. But, Micronesia's strategic location continues to be of global interest. Life has changed significantly, yet tradition remains strong. (DS)
