Outlying Islands

The following Territories belong to the United States of America. They do not belong to any one State. Except for the military forces on Wake and Kwajalein, and US Government employees on Midway[3] these islands are uninhabited; many are United States Pacific Island Wildlife Refuges. A number of battles of the Second World War in the Pacific were fought on them or in the waters near them.
