Its indigenous people are the Chamorros, who first populated the island approximately 4,000 years ago. It is the largest and southernmost of the Mariana Islands. Guam provided one take-off point for the bombing of Hiroshima, which brought about the defeat of Japan in World War II. Guam's five U.S. military installations, among the most strategically vital in the Pacific Ocean, take up one quarter of the territory's area.
