The eastern islands became territories of the United States, the Tutuila islands in 1900, and officialy Manua in 1900 and today are known as American Samoa.
The Samoas are of volcanic origin and the total land area is 2934 sq km, consisting of the two large islands of Upolu and Savai'i which account for 96% of the total land area, and eight small islets: Manono, Apolima, Nuutele, Nuulua, Namua, Fanuatapu, Nuusafee and Nuulopa.
The main island of Upolu is home to nearly three-quarters of Samoa's population and its capital city is Apia.
