minus-squareHasherm0n@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·28 days agoYou’re thinking of American Samoa which is different from the Independent State of Samoa, formerly known as Western Samoa and a sovereign nation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samoa https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Samoa
minus-squareAngryCommieKender@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·28 days agoYou’re correct! I confused the two
minus-squarehomesnatch@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·28 days agoWestern Samoa is no longer… And how is it part of the US?
